Jung Woo-young (25, 1. FC Woonion Berlin) is on the operating table.
Jung Woo-young revealed his bedridden appearance on his social network service (SNS) on the 4th (Korea Standard Time), saying, "The (left ankle) surgery ended well. I'm sorry I can't be with you until the end of this season, but I'll be back stronger," he said.
In the comments, teammates of the national team, including Seol Young-woo (FK Tsurvena Zvezda), Hwang Jae-won (Daegu FC), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Oh Hyun-kyu (KRC Genk), left messages of support while Berlin and his former team Freiburg wished for a better recovery.
Jung Woo-young started the away match (2-1 victory) in the 27th round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga against SC Freiburg at Europa Park Stadion in Freiburg, Germany, on the 30th of last month, and suffered an early replacement due to a sprained left ankle in the fourth minute of the first half.
In an interview after the game, coach Steffen Baumgart said, "Unfortunately, Jung lost his ankle and went on crutches. We have to assume the worst case scenario. We will take a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) soon."
The result of the close examination was shocking. German media Bild reported on Wednesday that the worst case scenario has become a reality. Jung can no longer play in Berlin this season. "I have a serious ligament injury in my left ankle, and I will visit a specialist in Frankfurt to adjust my surgery schedule," the report said.
Jung Woo-young, who will be the top scorer at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, left for Berlin from VfB Stuttgart last summer. He showed a consistent performance by scoring three goals and two assists in 23 games this season, and the possibility of a complete transfer in the summer transfer market is high. 스포츠토토
However, Berlin will decide to completely recruit Jung after watching his recovery trend. "The future of Jung has not been decided yet. We cannot rule out the possibility that Berlin will completely recruit him," the media said. "It is questionable whether Jorst Helt will invest 6 million euros (or 9.6 billion won) in transfer fees."
