De Jong injury expert view
Specialist Jordi Suroz confirmed that Frenkie De Jong's injury, a tear to the medial collateral ligament of the right knee, does not require surgery. Partial, stable tears can heal on their own within 4 to 6 weeks. He explained that the medial collateral ligament has a good blood supply, which promotes healing without surgery. However, the timing of De Jong's return depends on the stability of the knee, the disappearance of pain, and the player's ability to endure intense movements. If surgery is necessary, the recovery period would be much longer, and the player would need to recover once the knee is free of pain and capable of performing essential physical tasks.
