"Barcelona" fans heard the sad news.

AS journalist Javi Miguel reported that the worst medical predictions were confirmed, explaining the seriousness of midfielder Frenkie de Jong's injury.

After thorough examinations, it was found that the representative of the Netherlands national team tore the ligament in his right knee.

Due to this injury, de Jong will be unable to play for approximately six months.

It is reported that the player suffered a serious injury during the World Cup knockout stage when, despite severe pain, he continued to play.

It has been announced that the "Barcelona" medical staff and club management are very dissatisfied with the "Oranje" team's coaching staff, which allowed de Jong to play while administering pain-killing injections.
