The FC Barcelona confronted a grave problem this season with Frenkie of Jong. Why? As because the native of Arkel (Low Countries) was particularly affected by several physical problems that carried it to lose 21 commitments, a record number for him like player culé in this recently concluded campaign 2023/24.
No only this, the most striking of this is that the three injuries that suffered the Dutch had an element in common: all affected his right ankle. The first injury, suffered against the Celtic of Vigo (day 6 of LaLiga), was diagnosed like a sindesmosis tibioperoneal distal. The second, suffered against the Athletic Club (day 27 of LaLiga), was stipulated like a strong torcedura. And the last, during the Classical past against the Real Madrid (day 32 of LaLiga), went a severe sprain of degree two.
Under these circumstances, is not surprising that the Barcelona cast was seeing this situation with some worry. These worries probably increased after recently the Dutch aseverara in an interview for the portal 'Chain US' that is "prepared to run some risks of face to play the Eurocopa with the Dutch selection", without knowing cuán optimum has been his recovery and with the latent risk of a relapse to the not being to 100% of his capacities.
The FC Barcelona does not want that it repeat the 'case Umtiti' with Of Jong
This, inevitably, does that the FC Barcelona revive somehow the 'ghosts' of Samuel Umtiti. It is necessary to remember that the defender was one of the best of the world in 2018, but had inconvenient physicists related with his knee that required surgery. In spite of this, forced his participation in the Glass of the World 2018 with the 'Them Bleus', but after this event began his fall in hammered, because of serious physical problems that aggravated over time.
From this point, 'Big Sam' never could recover his sportive level irrebatible and went back more liable to injuries. It is evident that the Barcelona picture does not want to go back to live a similar situation with one of his key players in the tactical approach and that also could be an active valuable in case of a possible millionaire sale.
