The next morning I called the doctor, who asked if I managed to get to the club. Since I got last of my abdomen, which the doctor me directly wegstuurde. He was afraid that other players would infect them.”

Wijnaldum went home in the hope that the problems within a day or two days would be. “But it kept for two weeks. After five days there was already blood on me decreased, but also it was not clear what was there. Only after my stool was examined, there appeared to be a question of a bacterium.”

And so it had to Wijnaldum to the antibiotics. “I was still worse of. But then it is better gone. Only I had to go back to work on my fitness. I trained hard, but noticed Saturday that I rhythm I need for the way I want to play. It’s going to be better, but I am still not as fit as before I got sick.”
