Incheon United midfielder Moon Ji-hwan (32), who was diagnosed with a whopping 12 months after colliding with the opposing goalkeeper during a game last season, is sweating "bead sweat" to return.
According to an Incheon club official on the 26th, Moon Ji-hwan recently joined the team after raising his body through individual rehabilitation training. Although he is not yet at the level of being able to join his teammates in team training, it is significant just that he joined the team and is going through a rehabilitation process under the direction of the team doctor.
Moon Ji-hwan played a key role in Incheon's midfield last season and strongly clashed with opposing goalkeeper Son Jung-hyun during an away game at Gimpo FC in June last year. The moment he landed from his right foot after shooting after jumping, his knee hit Son Jung-hyun's body, which flew with a soccer shoe stud. Moon Ji-hwan's knee was shocked by Son Jung-hyun's weight.
After scoring a dramatic equalizer, he collapsed and complained of pain, but eventually left the stadium on a stretcher. He also shed tears with his hands wrapped around his face. Later, as a result of a detailed examination through an orthopedic surgery specializing in sports, Moon Ji-hwan was found to have damage to the anterior and anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, damage to the internal and external cartilage, and damage to the internal ligament. The club's announcement was added that it would take as many as 12 months before the surgery and return.
There was also a lot of concern that it would be a big crisis in his career because he is now a considerable age and the degree of injury is so serious. Moon Ji-hwan also expressed his complicated feelings at the time on social media (SNS), saying, "I didn't see and hear anything for about a week after the trial."
However, afterwards, Moon Ji-hwan posted a cast photo with the phrase "I can do it" on social media and said, "I want to show my family how strong I am to the Incheon members who supported me, the colleagues I got to know while playing soccer, and the Incheon fans who support me and make me go back. Let's not give up," he vowed. Incheon fans also cheered for Moon Ji-hwan through banners saying, "Ji-hwan, who will come back stronger, will be hotter," and the players also helped him with his uniform ceremony.
Since then, Moon Ji-hwan is preparing to return to the ground as he endured a difficult rehabilitation process. After going through a personal rehabilitation process, I took a step further by joining the team recently. Although he is willing to support the team by going on the ground as soon as possible, Moon Ji-hwan plans to calmly focus on rehabilitation as he has been out of the lineup for so long and other problems may arise if he hurry to return. The Incheon club also intends to provide support for Moon Ji-hwan to return to the team perfectly.
