BARCELONA, Sept 26 ― Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong will not return to action until after the next international break at the earliest after picking up an ankle injury at the weekend, manager Xavi said.
“He'll be a significant absence for us,” Xavi told reporters yesterday. “Frenkie is fundamental to how we play, especially given the great form he was in. Barcelona visit Real Mallorca later on Tuesday, followed by a home game against Sevilla and a Champions League group stage away fixture against Porto on October 4. They visit Granada in the league on October 8 before the break.
