Barcelona confirm De Jong suffers injury in his soleus of right leg in training

The clinical follow-up on Frenkie De Jong has uncovered an injury in the soleus of his right leg. 

The evolution of the injury will condition the player's availability. Barça's No.21 is in his first season as a player at FC Barcelona, and has played a total of 38 games, 27 of them in the league.

Thus far, the Dutchman has only missed three matches in the domestic competition, the last one coming this past Friday against Sevilla.

The first team returned to training this Sunday morning to prepare for the game against Athletic Club on Tuesday at Camp Nou, corresponding to week 31 of LaLiga. The available players worked out on pitch 2 of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

The next training session will be on Monday at 9.30am CEST, and after training, Quique Setién will appear electronically from the press room of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to conduct his pre-match press conference.
