Frenkie de Jong suffers ankle injury
Barcelona’s Frenkie De Jong, who played only 20 La Liga games for the club, ended his season in April due to an ankle injury. Despite the possibility of him not playing the first match, De Jong remains in the group and could be considered for the second or third game. Oranje manager Ronald Koeman expressed optimism about his chances of featuring in the German tournament. De Jong’s goal is to play in the first group stage game, but he is constantly aware of his ankle’s condition. Koeman believes that if De Jong cannot play the first three games, he will have to consider his chances.
De Jong has confirmed that he will not be able to participate in the European Championships this summer due to an ankle injury. He expressed his sadness and disappointment on Instagram. He states that it would be a dream and honor to represent his country in a final tournament. However, now, he will be cheering for his team from the sidelines. “I’m sad and disappointed that I won’t make it to EC. We’ve been doing a lot of it in the past few weeks, but my ankle needs more time. It’s my dream and greatest honor to represent our country in a final tournament. Wearing the orange shirt, singing the Wilhelmus and feeling the support of the entire country. But now I will, like the entire orange legion, cheer for our team from the sidelines. Let’s go boys,” he said.
