The Mexican striker Santiago Giménez, from Feyenoord, is expected to return to the fields sooner than anticipated, possibly by the end of November this year instead of January 2025, as initially expected. The medical team and physiotherapists are working hard so he can participate in Eredivisie matches and the UEFA Champions League group stage before the year ends.
Regarding his return, Giménez mentioned that his main goal is to be ready for the match on November 26 against Manchester City, but he emphasized that his priority is to fully recover to avoid setbacks. The player explained: "I prefer to be well strengthened to avoid recurrence than to rush and three weeks later be injured again," highlighting the importance of patience in his recovery process.
In addition to his possible return to the fields, the striker also referred to his future and the possibility of leaving Feyenoord during the upcoming winter market. He acknowledged that his goal is to play in one of the top leagues in the world, as his performance in the Eredivisie attracted the attention of major clubs. Giménez stated: "If you do things right, your dream is closer to a top league."
Santiago also talked about his recovery process and identified players like Raúl Jiménez, who overcame a serious injury to stand out again in the Premier League, as role models. Giménez sees his return as a crucial point in his career, depending on his ability to perform at the highest level after the injury.
With important matches on the agenda, such as against Bayern and LOSC in the final days of the Champions League, Santiago Giménez's early return could mean a vital boost for Feyenoord's hopes.
