Barcelona offered an update on Frenkie de Jong’s injury after Saturday’s late win over Celta Vigo in La Liga.
De Jong asked to go off in the first half of the game and was replaced by Gavi. The club have now confirmed it’s an ankle problem.
Here’s the official statement:
“Tests carried out on the first team player Frenkie de Jong show that he has an injury to the tibiofibular syndesmosis in his right ankle. He is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return.”
There are already fears that Barcelona will have to cope without De Jong for a number of weeks due to the problem.
