Set to play Tuesday De Jong (ankle) is expected to be an option Tuesday against Young Boys, according to manager Hansi Flick. "If Frenkie gets the chance to play, he will. I don't know if 45, 20 or 10... Impact De Jong is finally back with the team after a long layoff dating back to last season, having missed out on the last month of the season, Euro 2024 and the first few games of the new campaign due to ankle problems. He isn't expected to see a major role in his return, likely only seeing time off the bench late into the match. Either way, this is great news for the midfielder and team, as he is a significant player who should be an everyday starter once fit.
