If FC Barcelona snatched a superb victory in the very last moments of the match against Celta de Vigo, the Catalan club also lost Frenkie de Jong in the first period. Hit in the ankle at the end of the first quarter of an hour of the game (17th), the Dutch midfielder held out for around twenty minutes before finally giving up his place on the field to Gavi (36th). After the meeting, the Barcelonans gave news of their 26-year-old player.
And the latter are not good since Frenkie de Jong suffers from a sprained right ankle which could keep him away from the field for at least five weeks if the diagnosis is confirmed. The Catalan club also confirmed that the Dutchman would suffer elsewhere “from a lesion of the distal tibio-peroneal syndesmosis of the right ankle” in its official press release. The Barcelona midfielder could miss the trip to Porto in the Champions League as well as the reception of Real Madrid for the Clasico at the end of October.
