Hockey World Cup 2023: Dislocation on both shoulders and setbacks later, Floris Wortelboer finally makes debut

The Hindu  

On Floris Wortelboer’s Instagram page, there’s a picture of him with a sling over his right arm on a hospital bed, flashing a thumbs-up with a smile. Braving all these setbacks, Wortelboer, after playing 74 international matches, finally made his World Cup debut in front of a near 20,000-capacity crowd in Rourkela in the 4-0 win over Malaysia on Saturday. “It was not easy, but I am happy to be here,” says Wortelboer, who plays club hockey back home with Bloemendaal. I was really looking forward to the World Cup.” Explaining his misfortunes, Wortelboer says he was just ‘unlucky’. “That makes him also a better player and also a better person because now he knows what he has to do at this stadium,” Thomas says of Wortelboer’s setbacks.
