Frenkie de Jong ‘practically ruled out’ of Barcelona’s trip to Rayo Vallecano

Barcelona may have to cope without midfielder Frenkie de Jong for their next two games after the Netherlands international aggravated an injury during El Clasico.

The Dutchman reportedly had hamstring problems before the game but played anyway and (guess what?) has made the injury worse, according to Diario Sport.

The report reckons De Jong is “practically ruled out” of Wednesday’s trip to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga and is a “serious doubt” for the visit of Alaves next weekend.

De Jong started the game but put in a very subdued performance and was taken off in the 77th minute and replaced by Sergi Roberto.
