The five 'signings' that Hansi Flick is expecting after the return from the international break

Alarm bells rang at FC Barcelona when the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) issued a statement announcing that Frenkie de Jong was leaving the camp for "medical reasons." The midfielder's recent history of injuries, who has just recovered from his ankle problems, invited one to imagine the worst scenarios, but it all ended in a scare.

The player himself was in charge of transmitting peace of mind to the club, assuring that it was only a preventive measure and that he had not suffered any major setbacks. In fact, on his return to Barcelona, ​​the Dutchman did not even go to the Ciutat Esportiva as it was considered not necessary and it is expected that he will join training as normal this Thursday.

Hansi Flick's 'reinforcements' for Balaídos

That being the case, Hansi Flick will almost certainly be able to count on Frenkie in the match next Saturday 23 against Celta de Vigo. A match in which, according to the newspaper 'AS', the Catalans will have several important returnees in their squad.

And in addition to De Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Eric García and Héctor Fort could receive medical clearance to travel to Vigo after having spent some time in the Barça infirmary.

In the case of the '19', whose situation is the most worrying and occupies the Catalan dressing room, his syndesmosis in the right ankle will be evaluated in the next few days, which should keep him on the sidelines for two to three weeks, and if there are no setbacks, he would enter the list, although in principle he would start the match from the bench. However, the rest of those who have recovered could be available to the coach from the start.
