For Naoki Maeda, his debut for FC Utrecht ended in a fiasco. The Japanese suffered a broken leg after a tough tackle from Ajax defender Lisandro Martínez. This made it his first and last game for the Domstedelingen, who rent him from Nagoya Grampus.
Maeda has been out of circulation for months. “As a result, my dream is shattered for now. But I will not give up on my dream. I will discuss my treatment process with Nagoya Grampus and FC Utrecht and I will now fully focus on my recovery,” he said.
