De Jong and Barcelona Dispute
No date has been set for the return of Dutch Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong from the injury he sustained.
Frenkie de Jong chose conservative treatment for his injury, contrary to the advice of the club's medical staff, who saw surgery as the best option. However, the midfielder's decision was respected, and both parties agreed to monitor his condition based on how he feels.
The next step in assessing de Jong's condition is an evaluation after the next international break, which starts on September 21 and ends with the return to league competition on October 10 or 11.
The player plans to use this period of rest from club matches to complete the conservative treatment he chose.
