Barcelona: Midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who was undergoing treatment for an injury, is set to return to the field. He will join the team for their Champions League match against Newcastle United. De Jong was injured during the Netherlands-Poland match last week and missed the league game against Valencia. The player has started training with the team again.
In the upcoming match at St. James’ Park, De Jong’s experience will be crucial. In his absence, Barcelona’s Marc Casado and Pedri performed well. Coach Hansi Flick will have more options in midfield, and De Jong’s return will strengthen the team as they aim for a strong start in the Champions League.
