After his return to competition with the Netherlands, Frenkie de Jong still does not seem to have regained the correct feeling on the ball. Barça would be worried about seeing their midfielder relapse.
Frenkie de Jong is still in somewhat physical distress. The Dutch international has returned to the national team and his first sensations are not yet excellent. The Batavian midfielder himself displays some doubts about his lack of rhythm.
“I still have sensitive moments while playing, because of the injuries I need more matches and minutes to gain confidence. I'm not saying it's a risk… but the feeling is not is not the same as before I think it should improve from now on. De Jong said at a press conference.
De Jong was still out at halftime during the match lost against Real Sociedad (1-0). The playmaker, captain of the evening, had received a blow to the knee. In the end, Hansi Flick does not want to take the slightest risk with his Dutch star. Caution has reigned for an element as decisive as it is fragile for several months.
His future is also very uncertain at Barça. A sale in July is announced with no extension in the meantime.
