Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong’s chances of being fit for the Copa del Rey Clasico seem to be pretty slim at present but are reportedly increasing.
The Dutchman has been ruled out of action with a small hamstring tear, although Barca haven’t said how much time he’ll miss.
Diario AS are reporting De Jong has a “25% chance” of making the game at the Camp Nou on April 5. It’s not great news but it’s a big improvement from the 10% chance he was given after he underwent initial tests on the problem.
The report also claims that De Jong has an “amazing recovery capacity” and has recovered quickly from injuries before, leading to optimism he could possibly make it.
