Barça already has the opinion of the Dutch national team doctor, who speaks of a minor problem in the gluteal area, although the club wants to be certain.
Frenkie de Jong left the Netherlands national team's training camp this Friday to return to Barcelona. The Barcelona midfielder was injured during the World Cup qualifier against Poland due to discomfort in a glute, which the Netherlands national team currently classifies as minor, although he has been excused from the match against Lithuania. De Jong was substituted by Ronald Koeman in the 83rd minute. The coach admitted that he did not want to take any risks with him.
At Barcelona, they are keeping an eye on the player, although the first reports sent by the Dutch national team's doctor, the same Friday evening, speak of an incident that, in principle, is not overly serious. It is not serious, although it is a setback. De Jong went to the Ciutat Esportiva this morning to start treatment but did not undergo any medical examinations
At the club, they do not plan to conduct any medical tests on him today at the Ciutat Esportiva. De Jong will undergo a medical examination next Monday, and it will be then when they will assess whether it is an immediately recoverable injury or, in any case, he will be sidelined for the LaLiga match against Valencia on September 14. Whether there is or not will be communicated.
Flick is keeping an eye on the situation because he already has injuries in midfield and defense. Gavi has a knee injury, and Balde is definitely out for the coming match
