The Injury Incident

The incident occurred when de Jong landed awkwardly after a jump, causing immediate discomfort. Despite efforts to continue playing, the 23-year-old was eventually substituted, leaving many to speculate about the severity of the injury.

Initial Diagnosis

Initial reports suggested that de Jong had suffered a sprained ankle, which could potentially keep him out of action for several weeks. This news came as a blow to Barcelona, who are already dealing with a string of injuries within their squad.
