Roma midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has broken his silence after the devastating injury that ruled him out for five months. ‘I was very emotional and sad, but I’ve learned to accept the situation.’
The 31-year-old finally made the move from Paris Saint-Germain, on loan with option to buy, after weeks of wrangling and negotiating.
He made his debut for 12 minutes in the 1-0 win over Salernitana, then sustained a fractured tibia in training that will keep him in the stands for five months.
After the surgery, Wijnaldum kept silent and has now explained what was going through his head during that difficult time with a video on Instagram.
“I didn’t respond after my injury because I was really emotional and sad at the situation around my injury. I want to say sorry for that. I’m in a really good space now, I accept the situation how it is and that’s why I can now give 100 per cent in my rehab.
“I really want to thank the Roma fans for your support, it gives me the power to come back as quick as possible. I know it’s difficult for you too, as I just joined the club, and you had really big hopes for the season, but there is still time.”
Gini, why dress black & white? WHY?
Stripes as well?? Oh, for crying out loud–!
