De Jong boost leaves Barcelona’s Getafe options unresolved

Frenkie de Jong made progress in his recovery by participating in part of Barcelona's group training session on Tuesday ahead of Saturday's match against Getafe. However, his availability remains unconfirmed, while Joan García and Raphinha continued to train separately from the main squad due to their respective injuries.

De Jong has been sidelined for over two months with a knee ligament injury, while García is dealing with knee discomfort and Raphinha is recovering from a right thigh issue. With several players still sidelined, manager Hansi Flick called up six youth players to supplement the first-team training session.
