Frenkie de Jong will be out of Barcelona's next few matches because of a soleus injury, a setback that has forced him to wear a bulky bandage on his right leg.
But the young player has decided to opt to stay in his house to recover as soon as possible from his injury, a setback for Quique Setién, who was counting on the quality of the CM.
The ex-Ajax player has played a total of 38 official matches for Barcelona, scoring two goals and also getting three assists.
According to 'TV3', it seems that De Jong has decided to recover by following the advice of a physio from the Netherlands national team, after the episode that he experienced last week when the Barca medics went from diagnosing him with a simple overload in the right calf muscle to a soleus injury in just over 24 hours.
The aforementioned source assures that De Jong was reportedly so angry with the Catalan side that he wanted to go to Amsterdam to recover with his old doctors, but the club made clear that he couldn't leave Spain due to the impossibility of travelling individually because of the La Liga protocol. In the end, De Jong stayed in Spain but virtually dealing with a Dutch physio.
