Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong
Tuesday
Frenkie de Jong is reportedly facing several months out after returning from the World Cup with a serious knee injury. Initial checks at Barcelona have raised major concern, with reports suggesting he could be sidelined until November.
Barcelona have not yet released a final statement, but the early diagnosis would be a major blow before the new season. De Jong played through the Netherlands’ World Cup run and remains central to the club’s midfield plans.
