Georginio Wijnaldum has only made one brief appearance for the Serie A side and will not be available for a while.
A little about the topic
The Giallorossi head coach Jose Mourinho took to social media, claiming that Felix Afena-Gyan was to blame for Wijnaldum’s serious injury in training. Georginio Wijnaldum suffered a fractured tibia and will be sent for further scans next week. The Dutch international joined Serie A on loan from PSG this summer and played just 10 minutes in his opening game of the season when they beat Salernitana last week. The ex-Reds player was excited to get his career back on track after his 2021-22 struggle in the French capital, but will now miss a significant part of the campaign.
What did Mourinho say about Georginio Wijnaldum’s injury?
The Giallorossi’s statement on Sunday said that after an injury sustained during training on Sunday afternoon, Wijnaldum subsequently underwent medical tests that confirmed the presence of a tibia fracture in his right leg. According to them, Georginio Wijnaldum will undergo further evaluations in the coming days.
Jose has since admitted that this was a big blow to his team and was defending teenager Felix Afena-Gyan, who was reportedly involved in the clash during which Wijnaldum was injured. “Sometimes football can be sh*t,” Jose Mourinho wrote on IG ahead of his Serie A side’s clash with Cremonese on Monday night. “In just 2 weeks, Georginio Wijnaldum became one of us because of his human qualities.
According to Mourinho, unfortunately, in a very unfortunate accident, Georginio Wijnaldum had a bad injury that would keep him out of the game for a long time. “But it’s not just football being sh*t sometimes, people can be as well… Those who started the rumors that the main guy like Felix Afena-Gyan might be responsible for what happened are the real bastards. “Let’s all be together tonight: we play Roma, Gini and Felix,” said Jose Mourinho.
