Matthijs De Ligt News: Returns during offseason

De Ligt (undisclosed) started and played 45 minutes in a friendly against Leeds United.

De Ligt was able to shake off the undisclosed issues he carried into the offseason from the last campaign, featuring for the first half of a friendly. This does mean the club is gaining a regular defender back ahead of the campaign, a player who will likely start matchday one after starting in 25 of his 29 appearances last season, only being hindered by injuries.
