The Dutch star reveals the details of his injury
Dutchman Frankie de Jong has broken his silence and delivered a strong and emotional message to Barcelona fans in response to reports questioning his commitment and injury, stressing that wearing the Blaugrana shirt is his greatest source of pride.
The “Barcelona” midfielder published an official statement on his Instagram page, where he began to say. “Dear fans, I usually don’t pay much attention to what is written about me, the team or the club, but recently there has been a lot of speculation about my injury and my situation at Barcelona.
De Jong expressed his strong displeasure with his commitment to the club, saying: “It’s hard for me to see people questioning my relationship and commitment to the club because of false information.”
He continued. “Football is everything for me and I did everything for Barcelona and my country. That’s why I want to share with you what happened.
The truth about De Jong’s injury and his absence from the competition
The player of the Dutch national team revealed the details of the injury he received during the World Cup, explaining that the initial diagnosis was misleading.
He said: “I injured my knee during the World Championship. “After the initial tests, the doctors told me that it’s a minor injury and it won’t get worse if I keep playing.”
He continued. “The only challenge was playing through the pain, but throughout my career I’ve done it every time I could contribute, whether it was with my club or my country.”
“During my holiday I returned to Barcelona for further tests, which revealed that the injury was more serious than initially diagnosed. Fortunately, there is no need for surgery at this stage and I am now fully focused on my recovery and getting back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
De Jong’s message of loyalty to the Catalan team
De Jong emphasized his professionalism and full commitment to the club, stressing that what happened was beyond his control.
He continued. “I work every day to be in the best physical shape possible. I take my profession, my body and my responsibility to the team seriously. But sometimes there are things that cannot be controlled and this injury is one of them.”
“Playing for Barcelona and Holland is something I am very proud of and my loyalty to them will never change… I will continue to do everything for this motto, my teammates and our fans. There are still many moments to create and goals we want to achieve together.”
