So far this campaign, the U21s have racked up impressive results, currently sitting second in the PDL, while also reaching the semi-finals of the Nathaniel MG Cup and producing strong performances in the Premier League Cup.

“The U21 team did really well, which I like because I want the team and us as a collective to do well.” added Adeteye. “My goal is that when I get back on the field, I want to regain my place and go from there.

“I’m so proud of the team. I think it goes back to pre-season when we just wanted to do well and knew what we could do as a group. For them to win games and work hard, it’s a great feeling to be a part of that. Coaches continue to instill the non-negotiables in the team and that helps with performance and results. Hopefully when I get back we can continue.

“While I’m injured, I think going to the games is something I felt I had to do. I can at least show my teammate what I bring to the table, even if it’s just supporting them, talking to the players, making sure they’re in a good place and helping them improve if I can. Then, for me too, I look at the game thinking if there’s anything I can learn and anything I can implement when I get back on the pitch.”
