Frenkie de Jong is nearing a return to Barcelona training, but a two-to-three-week wait for his next official match is expected as recovery continues.
Frenkie de Jong is nearing a return to Barcelona training, but the midfielder is expected to require two to three weeks before playing an official match. According to reports cited from Mundo Deportivo, De Jong is scheduled to begin training with non-international players before joining the full squad later in the week ahead of the Getafe fixture.
