Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong was withdrawn at half-time during their defeat to Real Sociedad, seemingly nursing a knee injury after he clashed with an opposition player. After five months out of action this year, it refreshed fears of a potential injury issue.
However after tests this morning, it appears de Jong has been cleared of injury. The Dutchman only has a knock on his shin, according to Adria Albets, while Sport say that he was taken off out of precaution on Sunday night.
De Jong will travel to Amsterdam to meet up with the Netherlands squad for their upcoming international games against Hungary and then Bosnia and Herzegovina next week.

DeJong is a fool for going. It would be a Barca loss if he gets seriously injured but it would be 100% of DeJongs career if that happens. So he’d be a fool to play with an injury on a game he doesn’t have to

This is a genuine sacrifice and tremendous commitment towards the national cause. And it takes a team of Barca's stature to display such exemplary sportsmanly behavior to allow a player to join up with his national team when it was clear that he was injured and withdrawn during a crucial la Liga game. This is in sharp contrast with others who encourage their players to fake injury just to skip national team duties.
