De Goede has recovered from a serious knee injury she sustained at the end of last year. During an international match against Belgium in November, De Goede tore the anterior cruciate ligament of her right knee and damaged her meniscus. “Important days and weeks are now approaching. I feel fit, but I don’t have a competition rhythm at all. This week I want to go towards ‘participating fully with the group’. That is the next step, but also an important one. feel good about that. If that’s not the case, I’ll get out. Then it’s done,” says the three-time Olympic champion, who has already played 251 international matches.
