Frenkie de Jong may have to fear for his participation in the European Championship. He was injured in the match against Real Madrid on Sunday evening.
The international of the Dutch national team most likely injured his ankle just before halftime. In a duel for the ball, things went wrong for the Barcelona midfielder. He was carried off the field on a stretcher in tears. The severity of the injury is still unknown.
With the European Championship looming, this news is a major setback for Ronald Koeman. The first group match of the European Championship is scheduled for less than two months. The Dutch team will then take on Poland.
During the last international match, Koeman also had to do without the strongman. De Jong has been struggling with injuries all season and has only just recovered from a previous ankle injury. In total, he was unable to play fifteen games for his club this season.
