Barcelona confirm Frenkie De Jong, Gavi injuries

Although the Barcelona news are dominated by Lionel Messi right now, there’s some important information coming out of the Germany training camp as Frenkie De Jong and Gavi will be sidelined for a few weeks due to injury, the club announced on Thursday.

“Frenkie De Jong has pulled the inner gastrocnemius muscle in his right leg and is hence unavailable until he recovers from the injury.

Meanwhile, Gavi has fractured his right jaw and is also side-lined.”

The nature of the De Jong injury sounds a lot more complicated than what it actually is, which is a calf pull.
