Barça: Frenkie de Jong gets closer to a return

Frenkie de Jong returned to training this week. Although he was separated from the rest of the group most of the time, the Dutchman was able to touch the ball again during part of the Blaugranas’ collective training session on Monday. After five months out with a right ankle injury, De Jong is definitely on his way back and should be back in competition very soon.

The former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder could make his first appearance of the season in the coming weeks for Barça. With the arrival of the very ambitious Hansi Flick on the bench, the 27-year-old will have a lot at stake this season, he will have to stay away from any injuries and perform well if he wants to keep his place in the Catalan institution. According to World SportsFrenkie De Jong could make his return to the field at the beginning of October during the match against Young Boys Bern in the Champions League.
