FC Barcelona then specified that he suffered from an injury to the distal biceps of his right leg, with an estimated period of unavailability of between five and six weeks. This deadline will expire this Thursday, April 9, two days before the match against Espanyol.

The aim would be for the 28-year-old midfielder to be able to regain his rhythm, before being fully available for the Champions League second leg against Atlético de Madrid, scheduled for April 14 at the Metropolitano. A gradual return, full of hope and also strategic for the Dutch. As the Barcelona squad enters a decisive period of its season in the league and the midfield will have a key role, its presence is highly anticipated.
