According to Relevo, Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is close to returning and has rejected the suggestion of undergoing surgery.
After Marc Cucurella’s anterior cruciate ligament injury, it means that Franch only has three defensive midfielders available for the next few months: Marc Casadó, Pedri, and Eric García. Therefore, Barcelona is eager for De Jong’s return. With a tight schedule approaching, the Dutch midfielder will be a valuable addition to the squad.
De Jong has been out of action due to an ankle problem since April. He was originally expected to return within 4-5 weeks, but due to discomfort, he has not yet returned almost five months later.
However, according to sources close to De Jong reported by Relevo, the Dutch midfielder’s return is “imminent.” Barcelona is concerned about De Jong’s situation and had considered solving this injury issue through surgery. However, De Jong himself rejected this proposal as he hopes to return to the field as soon as possible.
