In the FC Barcelona begins to grow the worry around the physical state of Frenkie of Jong. The newspaper 'PLOUGH' informed that the injury in the ankle of the footballer is much more complicated that what believed in a principle, by what his recovery could retard more than the expected and would put in risk the presence of the mediocentro in the pre-season. A big problem for Hansi Flick, that had the Dutch like key piece in the double pivote of his team.
By this reason, the entrenandor begins to look for options in 'house' to substitute to the ex of the Ajax, as they inform from 'SPORT'. One of the solutions would go through to repeat the formula of Xavi Hernández and advance to Andreas Christensen to the midfield, where the Danish left very good feelings the past season.
Of the same way, Ilkay Gündogan also could adapt to the double pivote, although in Germany is showing that, in this moment of his career, his best position in the field is the one of mediapunta. Same case that Gavi, although the return of the canterano to the terrains of game still does not have a date estimated.
More unlikely are the alternatives of Orio Romeu and Sergi Roberto, whose futures would be out of the Barça to day of today. To the first subtracts him a season of agreement but everything aims to that will go back to the Girona, whereas the one of Reus is expecting of the club to try concretise his renewal.
The options of the Masia
Of the same way, Hansi Flick could opt Marc Casadó or Marc Bernal, two of the 'perlas' bigger of the filial culé. The first will form part of the first team from the next season, whereas the second will have to take advantage of the pre-season to convince to the German and be an alternative in the medullary Barcelona.
