Misses perfect chance De Jong put one shot off target during the second half of Monday's 1-1 draw with Granada.

Impact De Jong snuck through the defense to have an open chance on goal, but he missed in spectacular fashion. While he's likely to continue getting opportunities in a team short of striking options, he's not worth much if he doesn't know how to score. Up next is a trip to Cadiz, which have conceded eight goals in their first five matches.

Starts in loss De Jong logged 66 minutes as a starter during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact De Jong may not have started without Martin Braithwaite (knee) suffering a long-term injury, but that doesn't change what still took place as he failed to take a shot in his debut for his temporary club. WIth Philippe Coutinho now back, de Jong may return to a role off the bench if he can't start scoring soon. Up next is Monday's match against Granada.

Loaned to Barcelona De Jong has joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Sevilla, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact De Jong scored six goals last year for Sevilla in La Liga and the Champions League, but he moves to Barcelona for this season, where, due to the departure of Antoine Griezmann and injuries to Sergio Aguero, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele, he will likely plug straight into the starting XI. But don't be surprised if he slips down the depth chart once the injuries to his new teammates start to diminish.

On bench in win De Jong was left on the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact De Jong had picked up a knee injury over the summer and is fit enough to make the match day roster for the opening round of the season. As the backup striker behind Youssef En-Nesyri, de Jong may not be guaranteed to start frequently in any case.

Leaving Netherlands camp De Jong injured his knee in training Tuesday and will leave Netherlands camp, ending his stay for Euro 2020.

Impact De Jong fell down to the depth chart in this tournament, as Donyell Malen took the backup job at forward behind Wout Weghorst. The hope is that the injury won't affect De Jong's availability for the upcoming season after he took part in 34 league matches for Sevilla last campaign.

Injures knee in training De Jong was forced out of team training Tuesday after going down with an apparent knee injury, reports De Telegraaf.

Impact De Jong went down holding his knee and the hope is that it's nothing severe for the striker. He's played just 10 minutes for Netherlands in the Euros, so his status won't change things for his country.

Four goals scored this season De Jong scored four goals in 34 appearances (14 starts) during the 2020/21 season.

Impact De Jong had some hold over the start gin spot at striker two seasons ago, but an 18-goal year from Youssef En-Nesyri has put this saga to bed. What hasn't changed just yet is de Jong's place with the Dutch national team for the Euros. While playing for his country, De Jong has scored three goals while starting the last two matches, even though he ended the season with 16 goals less than Wout Weghorst. If de Jong is still preferred to his prolific counterpart, his fantasy value should remain better for his country in an attack-minded team than his club, which focuses heavily on defensive structure.
