Fans of Barcelona have something to cheer about as Frenkie de Jong approaches his long-awaited comeback.
After being out for over five months due to an ankle injury, the Dutch midfielder may return to play in an important Champions League match against Young Boys this Tuesday.
Manager Hansi Flick expressed his enthusiasm, noting, “Frenkie’s return is fantastic news for us, even if it’s only for a few minutes.”
Will Frenkie de Jong take the field against Young Boys?
The impact of Frenkie de Jong’s absence has been significant for Barcelona, particularly in the midfield, where his skill in managing the game’s pace has been notably missed.
De Jong sustained a serious ankle injury during the clasico against Real Madrid last April, which meant he couldn’t play for the rest of the season. With Barcelona trying to regain their strength in European competitions, his return is timely.
Frenkie de Jong is back and available for selection.

It remains uncertain whether he will start the match; however, having De Jong back could greatly lift the team’s spirits. His comeback is crucial, as Barcelona seeks a solid win in the Champions League to gain momentum. Even a short stint from the Dutch player could be impactful.
Could De Jong be the pivotal factor to help Barcelona regain their form? With his strategic acumen and command over play, he is definitely a vital player as Barcelona strives to maintain their chances in Europe.
As mentioned by Hansi Flick, the entire squad will benefit from his return, and for Barcelona supporters, witnessing De Jong wearing the blaugrana again will be a delight.
