The Roma midfielder has been out of action for a year with knee problems, and Strootman took to Twitter on Tuesday to confirm that he will once again go under the knife on his left leg, which is not strong enough for top level football.
Strootman tweeted, “There has been a lot of speculation in the media about my rehabilitation. Unfortunately due to a lack of power in my left leg I cannot compete at the highest level right now.”
“The last few weeks we have consulted many top professors all over the world and they and the medical staff of AS Roma have advised me to reconstruct the existing acl into another position in order for me to have less problems with my knee in the future and to regain my power again. I will undergo surgery this morning.”
“I am hugely disappointed that I cannot contribute to AS Roma and the Dutch National Team for the next few months but I will do everything to get back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
