Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong shared updates on his recovery from a serious ankle injury.
Quote: "People think I make a lot of money and say I need surgery. But I don’t want to, and I’m on vacation, not training. Everyone at the club agreed that not having surgery was the best option. Three injuries to the same ankle have given me a bit of a psychological setback.
I’m slowly gaining confidence to strike the ball hard and go into tackles. I’ll be back soon. For a player who lives and breathes football, it’s painful to be out of action," De Jong told Fabrizio Romano.
Reminder: In April 2024, the key Barcelona midfielder sustained an ankle injury and has not returned to the field since.
Recently, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick hinted at De Jong’s imminent return to full fitness.
