Donny van de Beek says he is 'really disappointed' that his knee injury has ruled him out of the rest of the season but has vowed to 'come back stronger', and has thanked fans for their kind messages.
The midfielder suffered the setback in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth earlier this month after bearing the brunt of a Marcos Senesi challenge just before half-time. An emotional Van de Beek left the pitch tearful and Erik ten Hag confirmed post-match that the issue was “not looking good”.
The manager confirmed in Friday’s press conference ahead of Manchester City that the Dutchman was out for the rest of the season but that he expects him back for pre-season given his injury does not consist of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
