Benfica target out for the season, transfer hopes fading | OneFootball

Stije Resink, a 22-year-old midfielder from Groningen sought after by Benfica, reacted to his period away from the pitch after suffering a serious injury that will keep him out until the end of the season. The player finished the match against Volendam quite concerned about the situation and no longer believes in a transfer in the summer.

"I have a serious injury and will be away from the pitch for some time", he admitted, acknowledging the extent of the problem that forced him to leave the game prematurely. The footballer scored at the beginning of the second half before feeling the pain that forced him to leave.

"Of course, this is complicated because I was working well and now I have to focus on recovery. It's tough, but that's how it has to be", he explained. The athlete also admitted that this break could influence his future and the aspirations of a possible move to a bigger league.

"I know that many clubs have been watching me and obviously this changes things, but now I just think about recovering well and coming back stronger". (Read HERE).
