The days after the match against VVV settled into a routine for Benjamin. His life revolved around recovery, training, and quiet moments in between.
Each morning, he made his way to the AZ Alkmaar medical room for checkups. The medics examined his knee carefully, testing flexibility, strength, and any signs of discomfort.
Some days, the progress was encouraging. Other days, it felt slow, frustrating. But that was part of the process, and he knew better than to rush it.
After the medical assessments, he moved to the training ground—away from the main team.
While his teammates worked on tactics and drills together, he followed a different schedule at the AFAS Training Complex.
The sessions were controlled, focusing on rebuilding strength and movement. Jogging laps, controlled ball work, light resistance training—nothing too intense, but just enough to keep him engaged.
