Gets goal against Almeria De Jong scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target) and five chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Almeria.
Impact De Jong had one of his best performances of the season as he was the main playmaker in the match while also netting his first goal since Sep 10. Injuries and off the field issue have impacted the Dutchman's performance but he is trying to get back into good form with a goal, eight chances created, and six interceptions in the last five matches.

Takes two shots in win De Jong put two shots off target and created two chances during Saturday's 1-0 win over Valencia.
Impact De Jong continues to make the starting lineup, helping his team to a third consecutive league win in his five starts. As he does most of his work in possession and not in the attack, de Jong's value comes from his ability to maintain rhythm rather than create opportunities.

Impact De Jong returned to the lineup after two matches as a substitute following his recovery from a minor hamstring injury. With Gavi largely preferred as a starter, de Jong's value still isn't great without a regular role.

With three starts in his last four appearances before the injury, de Jong will hope to snag a few starts from the favored midfield trio of Gavi, Pedri and Sergio Busquets.

Thigh injury confirmed De Jong has an elongation of semitendinosus muscle in his thigh and is out indefinitely, Barcelona announced.
Impact De Jong's thigh injury is confirmed and it's less than ideal news for Barcelona who have already ruled the midfielder out. It's not clear how long De Jong will be out but he could be recovering for multiple weeks. Gavi will likely be a nailed-on option with De Jong sidelined.

Suffers injury with national team De Jong is leaving the Netherlands National Team camp and returning to Barcelona to recover from a hamstring injury, Diario AS reported Friday.
Impact De Jong was subbed out at halftime of Thursday's UEFA Nations League victory against Poland after picking up a hamstring injury, and he's now set to miss Netherlands' next game against Belgium on Sunday. He will hope to be fit in time for Barcelona's next La Liga clash against Mallorca on Oct. 1.

Takes two shots in win De Jong put two-of-two shots on target, logged three inaccurate crosses, won three-of-five tackles and made five interceptions during Saturday's 3-0 win over Elche.
Impact De Jong has contributed to clean sheet and convincing wins while starting in two straight league matches. As he's scored one goal and had a fair defensive contribution in Saturday's game, de Jong is showing he can play an active role despite the transfer rumors he endured in the offseason. A deep lineup means de Jong won't play in every game, but his current run shows he's more than capable of doing his job with consistency.
