Frenkie de Jong27 year old midfielder from Barçajoined the team’s training camp on Saturday Netherlands hoping to recover in time to participate in the European Championship in Germany. He suffered a grade II sprain to his right ankle in the Bernabéu League Classic on April 21, the third injury to the same area this season. I talk about all this in Zeist, where Ronald Koeman He is preparing for the big event of the national team and where he has already put on his boots and stepped on the grass, even without group training.
“I’m ready to take some risks to play in the European Championship with the Dutch team, but the most important thing for me is that it doesn’t become a chronic ankle injury. That’s not the case yet and that’s why I haven’t had surgery yet “Yes, this is my third ankle injury this season, in the same ankle, but there is no instability. It’s probably the second time I started playing too early and the injury is still in my head,” the Barcelona player explained to Cadena NOS.
He still cannot guarantee that he will play in a Euro Cup stop Netherlands It starts against Poland on June 16. He is not expected in friendlies Canada (June 6) and Iceland (June 10): “June 16 is surrounded by a circle. If everything goes as expected and there are no ankle problems, then playing in the European Championship is feasible. We have a plan in mind, but it will depend on how the ankle holds up as to whether I will be fit in time. I still work individually, then I have to join the group and then work towards a situation where I can get playing time. In fact, it can also happen during the tournament. There are no strict deadlines, but there must be a possibility to participate in matches. Otherwise, there’s no point in staying.”
Ronald Koeman will wait for him because he is a major part of his system: “I understand that his rehabilitation is on time, so De Jong It’s here”.
