Frenkie De Jong, the talented midfielder for the Netherlands, will not be part of his country's journey in the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. This news came as a disappointment for both De Jong and his fans, as he is a crucial player for the Dutch team. The 27-year-old suffered an ankle injury while playing for Barcelona in March and has been struggling to recover ever since. Despite being selected for the Euro 2024 squad, De Jong was unable to heal in time for the tournament.
The Dutch team, also known as Le Oranje, played their first match against Poland on Sunday without De Jong in the lineup. This was a big blow for the team, as they heavily rely on his skills and experience in central midfield. His absence was deeply felt, as there is no other player on the team who can fill his role. The team's coach, Ronald Koeman, gave De Jong as much time as possible to recover and join the team. However, after their recent 4-0 victory against Iceland, De Jong announced that he will not be able to play in Euro 2024 and has withdrawn from the squad.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, De Jong expressed his sadness and disappointment at missing out on the tournament. He mentioned that he has been working hard to recover from his injury, but unfortunately, his ankle needs more time. Playing for his country in a major tournament has always been a dream and an honor for De Jong, and he was looking forward to representing his country once again. He also shared his excitement about wearing the orange shirt, singing the national anthem, and feeling the support of the entire nation. However, now he will have to cheer for his team from the sidelines, just like the rest of the fans.
De Jong has made 54 appearances for the Netherlands and has scored two goals. His absence will be deeply felt by the team and fans, but they will continue to support and cheer for the team in his absence. De Jong ended his post by wishing his teammates good luck and urging them to bring home the victory. Despite not being able to play, he will continue to be a devoted member of the orange legion and will be there to support his team every step of the way.
