Frenkie de Jong, sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained during training last month, has been out of action for around six weeks. He hasn't played since Barcelona's victory over Levante, impacting the team's midfield dynamics.
Head coach Hansi Flick provided an update, expressing optimism that De Jong will return after the upcoming international break. He will miss upcoming matches against Sevilla, Newcastle, and Rayo Vallecano but is expected to be available for the league restart in April.
De Jong is likely to feature in Barcelona's La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid and could play a significant role should the club advance to the Champions League quarter-finals. His presence will be vital for strengthening the team's midfield and boosting their chances for a strong finish to the season.
