Annotatsiya

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries represent one of the most serious and career-threatening injuries in professional football, often resulting in prolonged rehabilitation periods, psychological distress, and an increased risk of reinjury. While contemporary rehabilitation programmes predominantly emphasize physical recovery and functional performance, growing evidence suggests that successful return to sport also depends on effective interdisciplinary collaboration and psychological readiness. Among the professionals involved in rehabilitation, physiotherapists and coaches play particularly important and complementary roles in guiding athletes through the transition from clinical recovery to competitive participation. This qualitative study explores the importance and perceived effectiveness of collaboration between physiotherapists and coaches during the rehabilitation process of elite male professional football players aged 18–40 following ACL injury. Adopting a phenomenological approach, the study aims to investigate athletes' lived experiences and perceptions of interdisciplinary cooperation and to identify the ways in which such collaboration influences motivation, trust, adherence to rehabilitation programmes, confidence, and readiness to return to professional football. The findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the interpersonal and organisational factors that shape rehabilitation outcomes and to provide practical recommendations for improving communication, role clarity, and shared decision-making among rehabilitation stakeholders. Ultimately, the study seeks to support the development of more integrated, athlete-centred, and effective rehabilitation frameworks within elite football environments.
