Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed that Frenkie de Jong has suffered another injury setback ahead of Sunday’s match against Sevilla.
De Jong made his long-awaited recovery from an ankle problem against Young Boys in the Champions League and then featured again last time out against Alaves.
The Dutchman was not called up by the Netherlands over the international break and has therefore been working on his fitness over the last two weeks.
Flick says De Jong was set to start against Sevilla but his place in the team is now in doubt.
