Mees Hilgers resumes training with FC Twente
Mees Hilgers has immediately resumed training with FC Twente following discussions between the central defender and the club. The return follows a period of tension regarding the player's contract status.
FC Twente maintains that Hilgers' contract was automatically extended by one year because neither party formally terminated the agreement before it expired. Hilgers, however, had operated under the belief that he was a free agent. During the dispute, the defender had missed the start of pre-season training and had been training independently.
While the resumption of training suggests a partial resolution to the conflict, it remains unclear if Hilgers will be included in match selections or what his long-term future holds with the club.
