Frenkie de Jong is working on his recovery from a knee injury but a return to competitive action still looks to be some distance away.
The Barcelona midfielder has been out on the pitch to test out how his knee is doing but is still feeling discomfort, according to Diario Sport.
De Jong did some “solo runs and very controlled exercises” under the guidance of the medical staff but still felt pain during the session.
The midfielder opted to undergo conservative treatment on his knee injury, rather than undergo surgery, and it sounds as though there’s still some way to go before he’s ready to return to training with his team-mates.
De Jong suffered the injury at World Cup 2026 and has said he was given the green light to play through the pain barrier. The full extent of the problem was only diagnosed when he underwent tests after returning to Barcelona .
There’s been no indication from Barcelona of when De Jong is expected to return, although reports have claimed it’s expected he will be out for several months with the problem.
