Gian van Veen has expressed his eagerness to resume training in Berlin following a recent surgery to remove kidney stones. The Dutchman was sidelined during last week’s trip to Dublin as medical professionals addressed his condition, but he is now ready to rejoin his teammates.
The midfielder underwent a successful procedure, which initially raised concerns about his fitness and participation in upcoming fixtures. However, the recovery process has gone smoothly, and van Veen is optimistic about his return to the pitch.
“I’m excited to get back to work,” van Veen stated in a press conference. “Sitting on the sidelines isn’t easy for me, and I’ve missed being with my teammates. Now that I’m feeling better, I just want to focus on training hard and contributing to the team.”
