When could Frenkie de Jong return to Barcelona action after knee injury?

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is progressing in his recovery from a knee injury and has begun working with the ball. The Dutch international has yet to play for manager Hansi Flick's side during the current campaign.

While Flick previously hoped De Jong might return following the international break for the match against Getafe on October 10, reports indicate that timeline is optimistic. Barcelona plans to re-evaluate him after the break, targeting a gradual return to full training next month.
