As a shocking injury. This is how the national team player Iliya Gruev described his injury, which took him out of the game for more than three months. He commented on whether he was approaching his optimal sports form. Gruev shared how difficult it is for a football player to recover not only physically, but also mentally from such an injury.
„It was not easy for me. It was a little shock at the beginning when I found out how long I would be out. Then I tried to concentrate again, work hard and come back as quickly as possible“, Gruev commented to BNT.
The midfielder also shared his expectations from the matches with the Republic of Ireland in March for promotion to League B in the League of Nations.
„We have two tough matches ahead of us. We have to play as well as possible to have a chance to eliminate them. They have a slight advantage because it is always better to play the second game at home. We have to try not to let that affect us“, the international also said.
