Barcelona continues to be unable to count on Frenkie de Jong at full capacity, and hopes of his prompt return diminish with each new setback. After overcoming a lengthy ankle injury that kept him away from the pitch for five months, the Dutch midfielder now faces new physical complications delaying his return as a starter in Hansi Flick's team.

Earlier this month, De Jong finally made his comeback, appearing as a substitute in both the UEFA Champions League match against Young Boys and a La Liga fixture against Alaves. T

Barcelona fans hoping to see Frenkie de Jong back at his best may have to wait a little longer, as Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman shared a concerning update on the midfielder's fitness.

The Netherlands coach expressed concern about the midfielder's physical condition and revealed a conversation he had with the player.

Barcelona will reportedly soon be open to selling Frenkie de Jong if they are unable to agree a new contract with the Dutch midfielder. De Jong has long been linked with a move to Manchester United, which has failed to materialise to date, though could soon be on his way out of Barcelona next summer if his long-term future cannot be secured.

In recent weeks, Barcelona have been working on new contracts for several first team players. Currently, the likes of Pedri, Gavi and Ronald Araujo are all in talks to extend their stays beyond 2026,
