"The Dutch star is a surprise omission from Hansi Flick's squad list, with the club having now confirmed he is out due to a fever. De Jong's absence is a blow for Flick ahead of such an important game and means he will have to make do without the Dutch star yet again. The midfielder missed the win over Athletic Club due to suspension and then sat out the victory over Alaves because of "personal reasons.""
"De Jong's absence is a blow for Flick ahead of such an important game and means he will have to make do without the Dutch star yet again. We'll have to wait and see how Flick lines his team up without De Jong tonight. Pedri is expected to return to the starting XI after injury, while Marc Casado and Marc Bernal will also be hoping for starts. Flick has also called up 19-year-old prospect Tommy Marques to the squad for the match at Camp Nou."
Frenkie de Jong has been omitted from Hansi Flick's squad after the club confirmed he is out with a fever. His absence deprives Flick of a key midfielder for an important match, following a suspension that ruled him out of the Athletic Club win and "personal reasons" that kept him from the Alaves victory. Flick must reorganize the lineup without De Jong, with Pedri expected to return to the starting XI after injury. Marc Casado and Marc Bernal are candidates for starts. Nineteen-year-old prospect Tommy Marques has been called up to the squad for the Camp Nou match.
