Even, between the a lot of images published by the club culé in his social networks to relate the first day of pre-season, can see to the Dutch making one of the medical evaluations. Nevertheless, although the video has the title "Review OK!", it is striking to see that his right ankle is visibly inflamed in comparison with the left, what backs the fact that Frenkie could not being to 100% of his physical capacities.
The FC Barcelona no apurará the return of the Dutch midfield player
It is necessary to remember that Of Jong suffered a sprain of degree II in his right ankle after a hard dispute of balloon with Fede Valverde in the Classical of 21 April against the Real Madrid. This injury no only did him lose the last six meetings of the campaign 2023/24 with the FC Barcelona, but also it left it out of the announcement of the Eurocopa 2024 with the Low Countries, tournament in which it appeared like one of the 26 'warriors' of Ronald Koeman and had the hope to recover to time to face it. No only this, the player considered the option to force his participation, but did not finish having sufficient time to recover properly and enfundarse the elastic of the 'Oranje'.
To his time, is important to take into account that during this season, added to this physical mishap, the exjugador of the Ajax suffered other two injuries in this zone of the body: a sindesmosis tibioperoneal distal that did it lose 10 commitments and a torcedura that left it out of other four duels.
