Bad news for Frenkie de Jong. Hours after leaving the Santiago Bernabéu pitch on a stretcher in the final stretch of the first half of the classic, the Dutch midfielder underwent medical tests that determined that he suffered a sprain in his right ankle. “He is low and his evolution will determine his availability,” FC Barcelona reported.
De Jong will be away from the playing field for around five weeks and, consequently, will not play for the Blaugrana team again this season.
Although, as usual, Barcelona has not established the estimated period of absence, De Jong will have a very difficult time putting on the Barça jersey again this season. At most he would reach the last day and it is possible that then he would be all sentenced. It should be remembered that Xavi’s team will have a practically impossible time winning the League after the defeat in the classic… and that the 2024 Euro Cup will begin in mid-June.
This season, De Jong has played 2,513 minutes spread over 30 games. So far he has missed 15 games due to injury, a figure that could increase by six units if the Dutchman does not play against Valencia, Girona, Real Sociedad, Almería, Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla in the remaining days of LaLiga EA Sports 2023/24
