But 35 doesn’t actually say the player can’t get his own treatment. I suppose you could read it between the lines. And moreover, it doesn’t say what would happen I even if the player is supposed to abide by the team doctor’s ruling and yet goes ahead and does what he wants anyway.
ETA: all of the team’s discretion has to be “reasonable” as well, which is a word that creates doubt all the time in contracts. If a procedure is viable and the club refuses, that’s arguably unreasonable.
