@Enzennio Mallozzi nice mate. A mate of mine does some performance consultancy work with them now and then - Shayne Murphy. Majority of my time is spent on this business, but Im head of performance with NWS Spirit FC in Sydney, which is a semi-pro club.
Glute strain/ stretch
I was in goals and saved a goal by kind of sitting down and thrusting the leg out like an ice hockey goalie. This overstretched the glute and hasn’t been the same since. How to stretch/rehab ?

@Ben Nilsson Sorry, I didn't know the timeline. It wasn't mentioned. If it was a year ago, and you have done nothing to aggravate it then, its more than likely requiring a bit of TLC initially to get the whole area feeling better - general soft tissue work around itb band, tfl, sole of the foot, low back, glute muscles Then ensuring: - The hips/pelvis moves well (side to side, forward and back, rotating) will go a long way as the glutes attach around the pelvis area. Mobility exercises such as hip rolls, 90/90 hip mobility, couch stretch, pigeon pose - Gaining strength in the hip and glute muscles with general strength exercises like (glute bridge variation, abduction exercises, lateral lunges, reverse lunges, rotational lunges) - Ensuring the lower back is strengthened, the upper back can move well (side to side, forward and back, rotating) - if it doesn't move well the lower back will feel impact. - Ensuring your feet are able to pronate and supinate effectively

Pain in right hip flexor after training and matches
I've come back to football about 6 weeks ago, after a two-year break, and after every training session and game I've played, I'm experiencing pain in my right hip flexor region, most notably when I move my leg upwards and when I kick a football. The pain resolves itself after a few days but then reoccurs once again when I go back to exercise. Could this be due to weak hipflexor muscles and/or muscle strain? Any advice on what I should do?

Potentially mate, it could also be the increased recovery. Whatever you're doing, if it's working. keep doing it
