Deulofeu on his injury: "I recovered thanks to my good form"

Udinese's Spanish striker Gerard Deulofeu had to be substituted at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the last game before the World Cup after suffering a left knee injury in the 25th minute against Napoli.

The former Barca player confessed how he avoided a much more serious injury: "I recovered thanks to my good form and the training I've been doing for years."

In addition, Deulofeu told how he lived the moment he fell to the turf: "I heard how it creaked. And well, it's clear that at that moment I thought the worst... I've underwent two knee surgeries and I thought it could be a third one."

"That's where I realise that all the mental and physical training helps me. Being ready for the game saves me time away from the match," he concluded.
