Frenkie de Jong expressed fear over his ankle injury, stating, "Did I wonder whether I would ever fully recover? That crossed my mind sometimes, but I always had the confidence that I would eventually be able to play football again... There was uncertainty about how long it would take and whether my ankle would be completely the same as it was before."
Reflecting on missing Euro 2024, De Jong mentioned, "That was tough. I watched all the matches of the Dutch national team but not much of the rest. I did not want to be confronted with it every time."
De Jong shared insights into his new match preparation routine, saying, "I spend a lot of time on my ankle... I have to take much more care of it. Before I didn't even think about my ankle before matches, but now I get treated before training and matches."
