“Patience”

As a football player injuries is a part of the game. Although we do everything we can to prepare ourselves a injury always comes at a bad time. Suffering a bigger injury could mean the end of a season.

In the last pre-season exhibition game I was tackled by the opponents forward and sprained my ankle and tore out the ligaments. So I am walking out to the first game of the season with crutches.
Even though I can’t play I’m still part of the team so I will still sit on the bench and make sure the players do what they need for the team.

Going forward from here for the next couple of weeks I will be doing a lot of ankle rehab, so I can come back stronger than before and help the team to a new championship. Hopefully I my rehab period will be short and I can come back to full training soon.
I just need to fight harder and I take inspiration from Swedens best football player Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He suffered a big injury in 2016 where the doctors thought his career was over. But he wanted differently, Ibrahimovic fought back and is now on of the best players in MLS, on the injury he said: “They said it was over, I said NO”.
