The story in brief
33-second readPhoto by Ryan Crockett/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images | DeFodi Images via Getty Images Barcelona will get one of their best players back for this weekend’s La Liga clash with Real Betis as Hansi Flick confirmed that Frenkie de Jong will be in the squad and could even play some minutes at La Cartuja on Saturday.
Frenkie missed the first two months of the season recovering from a knee injury sustained in the World Cup, and Flick is very excited to add one more high-quality piece to what is already a very deep squad.
“Everyone knows Frenkie is a top player. I’m very happy he’s back and available; he gives us a new option. We’ll have to see how he progresses.
