Barcelona hoping to pass Frenkie de Jong fit in time for Young Boys UCL clash

Barcelona are reportedly set to pass Frenkie de Jong fit on Monday after almost six months out of action with an ankle injury.

Barring any late setbacks, the Dutchman will be available to play in the team’s next game against Young Boys in the Champions League, according to reporter Xavi Campos.

De Jong’s return will be a big boost to Hansi Flick and comes with Barca needing a win after defeat to Osasuna last time out in La Liga.

Barca could also do with a win in the Champions League after starting with a defeat to Monaco in their opening game.
