Frenkie de Jong is reportedly set to make his comeback at Barcelona. The Dutchman has been included in the Catalansโ squad for Thursdayโs Champions League match at Newcastle United.
De Jong was injured during the international break and was sidelined for the Netherlandsโ closely-run match against Lithuania. Last weekend, the 28-year-old midfielder was in the stands watching his sideโs victory over Valencia (6-0).
Somewhat similarly, Yamal returned from the international break in a battered state, much to Hansi Flickโs dismay. The 18-year-old substitute is struggling with a pubic injury. Flick criticised the Spanish FAโs communication.
For the Blaugrana, โโthe Champions League main stage kicks off at St. Jamesโ Park. Newcastle recorded their first victory of the season last Saturday, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 thanks to a goal from towering new signing Nick Woltemadeโs header.
