FC Barcelona has announced that Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong has suffered an injury to the distal biceps of his right leg during training, which will keep him sidelined for between five and six weeks.

This unavailability will affect his participation in important league matches, including clashes with Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla FC, and Rayo Vallecano, as well as the knockout stages of the Champions League against Newcastle or PSG. De Jong, at 28 years old, will also miss the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against Atlético Madrid. The injury comes at a delicate time for the team, which has recently recovered other important players. Additionally, De Jong will not be able to participate in the next action of the Dutch national team, scheduled between March 23 and 30.
