More bad news for Barça: De Jong and Depay also injured

The bad news for Barcelona during the international break keeps piling up. In addition to the confirmed absence of Ronald Araujo, who will undergo surgery and miss more than two months of competition, and Jules Kounde, there is now the absence of Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay.

The former Ajax midfielder is suffering from an elongation in the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh. Barcelona did not specify a time out, but he will miss a few weeks of competition.

More minor, but still an injury, is the problem of Memphis Depay, who has an injury to the biceps femoris in his left thigh.

Both players were injured in the Netherlands' first match against Poland. Due to the injuries, the Dutch team decided to release them and let them go to Barcelona.

Barcelona have accumulated a number of absentees during the international break. Xavi will have to rotate his squad so that the absence of his players is not felt.
