Navas looks to the Bible for inspiration during injury recovery
Not yet ready to make match-day squad
Posted Sunday, September 18, 2016 by Marca.com
Over three months since undergoing Achilles heel surgery, Keylor Navas still cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Costa Rican goalkeeper had a procedure on June 9 but his name has yet to appear on Zinedine Zidane's match-lists this season, so he has turned to religion to help find guidance during his time away from the pitch.
"Galatas 1:10," Navas posted on Twitter on Saturday.
The verse, which pertains to the Epistle to the Galatians, the ninth book of the New Testament, reads as follows:
"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."
Whatever the veteran stopper implies with his tweet has not seemed to push Zidane into announcing his return.
"I can't talk about a specific return date for Keylor [Navas].
"He's feeling better every day that goes by and I hope he can contribute soon."
