Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez received a painful blow before facing Deportivo Alaves next Sunday in the 13th round of La Liga
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported: “Barcelona’s Dutch star, Frenkie de Jong, will not be available to participate against Alaves, as he has not fully recovered from the injury he suffered during the match against Celta Vigo in the sixth round of La Liga”
Xavi was hoping to restore De Jong’s services, especially since Javi will be suspended due to accumulating cards, and Gundogan participated in 13 consecutive matches between Barcelona and his national team, Germany, and he is afraid of fatigue
With Pedri gradually returning to participate, Xavi was hoping to have De Jong back, even if only for a few minutes, to rest some elements
De Jong will not be called up to his national team, the Netherlands, in agreement with Ronald Koeman, the coach of the Windmills
