Former Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has admitted he felt ‘emotional and sad’ after suffering a serious leg injury just days after his move to Roma.
The 31-year-old completed a season-long loan move to Jose Mourinho’s side from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer. But after just a couple of weeks and one cameo appearance for the Italian outfit, a training ground injury in August was diagnosed as a fractured tibia.
Wijnaldum looks set to be sidelined for a lengthy period of time after just one substitute appearance in competitive football for the Giallorossi, and the Dutchman received well-wishes from a host of Reds fans following the news. And now he has taken to social media to explain why he was silent for so long, adding that the support ‘gives me power’ during his rehabilitation programme.
