the Netherlands
The Football Association still believes that midfield star Frankie
De Jong (ethnic group)
will be able to participate in the upcoming Europa League.
De Jong was unfortunately carried off the pitch on a stretcher with a sprained right ankle in the much-anticipated Spanish national derby, a diagnosis that was later confirmed by Barcelona's medical team. Although Barcelona have yet to officially announce how long De Jong will be out of action, it has been reported that the Dutch midfielder could miss the team's remaining six league games this season.
Facing the Europa League in the summer, the Dutch will want to play with their strongest squad. They are grouped with Poland, France and Austria, and the fitness of De Jong will undoubtedly be crucial for the men in orange. De Jong has been plagued by an ankle injury twice so far this season, but he has remained strong for Barcelona playing 30 games and contributing two goals. At national team level, De Jong has scored two goals in 54 international matches as a regular starter.
