Injuries have managed to harm and haunt FC Barcelona rather extensively this season. The Catalan giants have had to use their grit and resolve to overcome a lot of unfavorable contests as well as a result. However, as more and more Barcelona players return, so does the hope they bring with them.
One of the major stars sidelined currently is Dutch midfielder Frenkie De Jong. The Barcelona captain and midfield maestro is still recovering from the ankle sprain he suffered against Athletic Club back at the start of this month. That specific injury has kept him out for quite some time, but there is some positive news.
As per the words of Ferran Correas through SPORT, De Jong’s return is all but guaranteed for a special game. In the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Frenkie De Jong will be fully back in action and ready to take on the Parisians.
Moreover, they claim that he will ‘100%’ be ready for the first leg of the two-legged European contest. This will provide Xavi and Barcelona with a world of new options to make use of, and will certainly help the Blaugrana coach in terms of deciding the final team that he is able to put out on the field.
A player of immense value, quality, and consistency, Barcelona simply controls games better with their Dutchman. In his absence, others have had to step up and get the job done. So far, due to his injury, he has already missed two La Liga outings and the second leg against Napoli that Barcelona ultimately managed to win.
Now, it seems that he will most probably also miss the upcoming game against Las Palmas. However, right afterwards, the report claims that he will be in action for Barcelona taking on PSG. Moreover, the report also highlights that he will be back with proper rhythm as he would have had plenty of time to train and adjust back with his teammates.
