Barca's Frenkie De Jong Return Date Remains Unknown Set to Miss Upcoming Games

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong is set to miss upcoming games due to a hamstring injury, according to Diario AS' Javi Miguel.

De Jong, who has been sidelined since mid-September, has tried to return to training on multiple occasions but has suffered pain after each session.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez confirmed in his press conference on Friday that De Jong will not feature in upcoming games, as the club does not want to risk further injury.

Barca have struggled to be incisive and creative in midfield without De Jong, and have lost their last two games against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.

It is unclear when De Jong will return to action, as Barcelona are waiting for him to be 100% fit.

In the meantime, Barca will have to rely on other midfielders such as Pedri, Gavi, and Nico Gonzalez.
