Impact De Jong looks to be back on the injury report, with the midfielder heading back to Barcelona for medical reasons. This could be a cautious move for the player after just returning from an injury and with the Netherlands already qualified for the Nations League quarterfinals, although this is unconfirmed. Either way, the club will hope to have him as an option to face Celta Vigo on Saturday, as he was just starting to earn his starting role back.

Recovering starting role De Jong started in his previous two appearances for Barcelona before the November international break.
Impact An ankle injury has limited the Dutchman to just seven appearances and two starts between the league and the UCL, but the midfielder is trending in the right direction based on his recent involvement. If he stays healthy, De Jong should be a regular starter in midfield for Barca.

Impact De Jong looks to be back as an option after missing Sunday's match due to undisclosed issues after having already been questionable for that match against Sevilla. The real question seems to be where he will lineup, as the club would normally choose to start him but after a long absence and only seeing time off the bench since then, he may be placed on the bench again. Either way, this is great news, as he is a crucial and clinical player when fit.

Impact The central midfielder was expected to start against Sevilla on Sunday, but instead, he wasn't available off the bench due to a minor muscular issue. It remains to be seen if he'll recover in time to face Bayern on Wednesday, but either way, it's been an injury-riddled season for the Dutchman, who has been limited to just two appearances and 24 total minutes as a sub in 2024/25.

Recovering slower than expected De Jong hasn't progressed as expected in his recovery process and won't be an option for Barcelona until after the September break, according to Javier Miguel of MARCA.
Impact Barcelona will open their Liga season against Valencia on Saturday, and de Jong hasn't even returned to training. Manager Hansi Flick has been resigned to waiting until after the international break to see if he'll be able to use the Dutchman as an option in midfield. This represents quite an issue for a Barcelona team that's not particularly deep in terms of midfield depth.

Impact De Jong is still working his way back from a serious ankle injury, and it seems he won't be back before the Euros kick off in mid-June.

Season hindered by injuries De Jong started in all 20 appearances while notching two goals on seven shots to go along with 21 chances created, 25 crosses and 43 tackles.
Impact De Jong had a tough season, to say the least, as he only featured 20 times due to a plethora of injuries, having missed 22 matches with his complications. When he was on the pitch, he was decent, although most of his production came in the defense outside of his two goals, as he registered 14 interceptions, 27 clearances and 43 tackles. He will now look to put the injury problems behind him moving into next season, as he is a regular starter when fit, but more importantly, he will hope to be fit enough to feature with The Netherlands in Euro 2024.
