The last few days have not gone exactly as planned for FC Barcelona. The Catalans saw their winning start to the season come to a disappointing end, as they lost against both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Furthermore, the Blaugranes also saw several of their players getting injured, leaving Hansi Flick with quite a thinned backline. In such a context, one rare piece of good news for the German coach has been the return of the midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
The Dutchman had been injured during the World Cup and missed the preseason and the first phase of the season with that injury. Owing to his injury, he was not able to make it to the new coach’s first squad for the September international break, but has now been called up for the next matches for his side.
