Rio Ferdinand heeft onthuld in welke mate rugproblemen zijn leven na het voetbal blijven be\u00efnvloeden, waarbij hij toegaf regelmatig in het ziekenhuis te belanden en zelfs een rolstoel heeft moeten gebruiken.<\/p>\n

De voormalige verdediger van Manchester United en Engeland, die zijn reputatie opbouwde als een van de beste centrale verdedigers in het spel, zei dat het probleem ernstig genoeg is om zijn dagelijkse routine te verstoren. Ferdinand legde uit dat de schade aan zijn rug hem soms afhankelijk maakt van gespecialiseerde zorg, en dat hij regelmatig naar het ziekenhuis moet voor de behandeling van deze aandoening.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand onthulde ook dat er momenten zijn geweest waarop zijn mobiliteit zo beperkt was dat hij een rolstoel moest gebruiken. Deze onthulling benadrukt de fysieke tol van een carri\u00e8re op topniveau, zelfs voor spelers die op het hoogtepunt van hun kunnen moeiteloos door wedstrijden leken te glijden.<\/p>\n

Nu hij na zijn pensioen in de media werkt, vormen Ferdinands opmerkingen een schril reminder dat de impact van topsport niet altijd eindigt met de laatste wedstrijd van een speler; de 45-jarige heeft nog steeds te maken met de gevolgen van blessures die hij opliep tijdens zijn carri\u00e8re op het hoogste niveau.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
