After so much bad news, Hansi Flick can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Barcelona recovers Frenkie de Jong: absent since April due to a second-degree sprain of his right ankle, the Dutch midfielder is included in the list of players called up for tonight’s match against Young Boys.
A nice injection of confidence for the whole team, an important “reinforcement” for a department reduced to a minimum due to the many injuries (Marc Bernal, Dani Olmo and Fermín López absent, as well as the long-term patient Gavi). De Jong stopped last April 21st during the Clásico at the Bernabéu and also missed the European Championship. He could return to the field this evening: Flick has hinted that he could give him 10-20 minutes.
