Belgian central defender Jan Vertonghen said he suffered a headache for nine months from a head injury he suffered in the Champions League semi-finals last year and ruined his final season at Tottenham.

The defender, who left the Spurs and moved to Benfica as a free agent in August, clashed terribly with his teammate Toby Alderweireld in the match against Ajax. He had symptoms of concussion for months and feared any collision in a workout or match.

Many people do not know it, but I suffered a lot after this blow, I had constant dizziness and headaches, he told the Belgian television Sporza. Now, for the first time, I`m talking about it. I couldn`t overcome this trauma for nine months, so I couldn`t do what I wanted on the field. I just didn`t know what to do. It was match via partners of live soccer after match, training after training. Then came the pandemic, I managed to rest for two months and now I am much better, the defender added.

Vertonghen admitted that he felt compelled to continue playing for the sake of his career, even though he knew it affected his performance. I only had one year left on the contract, so I had to play. But when I played, I played badly. Not many people knew about it, it was my own choice, said the Belgian.
