Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong remains out of action for four months after suffering an injury in a collision with Fede Valverde. A wound that should have taken six weeks to heal continues without improvement.
According to RAC1 and quoted by Sport, de Jong's ankle remains tender, and in a fragile state. He hasn't improved much in the last month, and if he does, he's at high risk of relapse. They continue to report that in order to return to full fitness, de Jong will likely undergo surgery, which will keep him out for several months. So far he has opted for conservative treatment and is expected to return towards the end of September.
