Frenkie de Jong is "willing to take risks" to be in the Euro Cup with the Netherlands

The presence of Frenkie of Jong, one of the names stood out of the selection of Low Countries, in the Eurocopa is surrounded of some uncertainty. Why? As it results that the Dutch still is recovering of a sprain of degree II in his right ankle that suffered during the commitment in LaLiga EA Sports between FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid (3-2) in Santiago Bernabéu. This is the third time in the season that has had physical problems in this zone in particular of his body.

In spite of this and with the hope that the native of Arkel recover to time, the seleccionador national of the Low Countries, Ronald Koeman, included it in the list of summoned of 26 players for this continental tournament, called to the that Frenkie answered. In fact, the midfield player already finds in the field of training of Zeist (Utrecht), that has been designated like centre of concentration of the 'Oranje' from 1 June. In this point, already has seen him in the lawn, although it still has not trained with the group.

Frenkie Of Jong spoke of his options to contest the Eurocopa

In the middle of all this uncertainty on his recovery, the '21' of the Barça and the 'Orange Mechanical' conceded an interview to the Dutch media 'Chain US' to explain the state of his injury and the risks that is had to assume to represent to his country in this continental tournament. Aseveró: "I am prepared to run some risks of face to play the Eurocopa with the Dutch selection, but the most important for me is that it do not turn into a chronic injury in the ankle. That is not the case still and therefore they have not operated me of the ankle. Yes, it is my third injury of ankle this season, also in the same ankle, but there is not unsteadiness. Only that the second time perhaps began to play too prompt and the injury still was in my head".

In this sense, Frenkie of Jong left clear that does not have the certainty to be able to participate in the Eurocopa, but emphasized that if all goes according to the planned, will be able to see action with his combined national. It expressed: "On 16 June it is surrounded by a circle. If all goes as it expects and without problems in the ankle, then play the Championship of Europe is feasible. Have a plan in mind, but will depend on how hold the ankle if I will be in shape to time. I follow working individually, afterwards have to join me to the group and afterwards work to attain a situation in which it can achieve time to play. In fact, this also could occur during the tournament. There are not strict terms, but has to exist the possibility to participate in parties. Of the contrary, does not have felt to remain".

It will be necessary to see if the exjugador of the Ajax will be entirely recovered for the start of the adventure of the Low Countries in the Eurocopa, where will confront in the phase of groups to Poland on 16 June, to France the 21 of the same month and afterwards to Austria the 25. Likewise, before adentrarse entirely in this tournament, the 'Oranje' will face pair of friendly commitments in Dutch territory against Canada (06/06) and Iceland (10/06), respectively, in the house of the Feyenoord. By the moment, the presence of the talentoso midfield player seems little likely in these 'crashes', but everything will depend on how evolve in his recovery.
