He also highlighted the opportunity the injury provided for self-reflection and self-discovery, stating that he could use the pain from the injury as motivation upon his return to the field. Following the interview, there were public inquiries about his return to football, as some had mistakenly thought he was taking a break.

In terms of his recovery, it was noted that he still has a way to go, and a decision had been made to provide him with the privacy and space necessary during this time. The interviewer also mentioned a community feature where members receive special offers, promotions, and advertisements, and the option to leave the community if preferred.
