Is It Safe To Play While Suffering From A Purple Bruising After Pulling A Hamstring?
Hello, i pulled a hamstring about 10 days ago playing a soccer match, i rested my leg for a week now and used cold therapy for 4 straight days with painkillers. The pain is gone and i can walk normally. I just noticed i have a purple bruise on the injury, not too big though. I have a league match tomorrow, is it safe to play as a sub?

In my opinion it is safe but you need few precautions
1- warm up for 10 min
2-use kinsiology tape on your hanestring to support it
3-make sure you do cooldown exercise
Good Luck
