Eindelijk mag Daley Sinkgraven zich weer voetballer noemen. After more than a year and a half marked by injuries, Daley Sinkgraven finally returned to action on Saturday evening during Fortuna Sittard's home match against FC Twente. The 31-year-old Dutch international came on during added time, replacing Shiloh 't Zand, and was able to relish, however briefly, his return to competition.
Versatile and left-handed, Sinkgraven says he is proud of this reappearance. The long period of absence made him mature, he believes, but did not take away his ambition. For now, every little step counts: getting back into competition, accumulating minutes and regaining your role within the team. His contract with Fortuna runs until the end of the season, with no option to extend, and the player maintains a pragmatic objective: "My objective this season is simply to play minutes and see if I can be important for the team." (free translation).
On a personal level, Sinkgraven has additional reasons for motivation at home. His two sons, aged three and five, were not yet present at the stadium for this first outing, but the player hopes that they will soon have the opportunity to see him play with full knowledge of the facts. “But dat komt nog wel”, he confided, a phrase repeated and translated here: he is convinced that this moment will come.
