"First-team player Frenkie de Jong sustained an injury to the distal biceps of his right leg during this morning's training session. Medical tests have confirmed that the expected recovery period will be approximately five to six weeks."
"De Jong has made 31 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona this season and netted his first LaLiga goal since January 2025 in their 3-0 win over Levante last weekend. He has also registered seven assists from 47 chances created, while his 94.2% passing accuracy is the second best of any player in the squad to play more than 500 passes."
"Barcelona do have a 100%-win rate without De Jong in the side this term, winning all eight of their matches, while conceding just 0.6 goals on average per game."
Frenkie de Jong suffered a hamstring injury during Barcelona training and will be sidelined for approximately five to six weeks. The 28-year-old midfielder has been instrumental this season, making 31 appearances across all competitions with seven assists and a 94.2% passing accuracy. His absence comes at a critical time, as Barcelona face the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid next week and Champions League round-of-16 matches in mid-March. Despite De Jong's importance, Barcelona maintain an impressive 100% win rate in eight matches without him this season, averaging just 0.6 goals conceded per game.
