One of the best news in the last couple of weeks for Barcelona has been the return of Frenkie de Jong, who is finally back after missing five months with an ankle injury that cost him the end of last season, all of Euro 2024 and nearly two months to begin this campaign.
De Jong is now back in the fold and slowly getting into a rhythm under Hansi Flick at Barça, but it might be a while until we see him back in action for his national team. That’s according to Netherlands manager and Barça legend Ronald Koeman, who was asked about De Jong’s status this week and revealed a phone call with the player in which Koeman found out Frenkie is still not even close to being ready for an international call-up.
