With Pedri already injured, Barcelona suffered another concussion during Saturday's game against Celta Vigo as Frenkie de Jong missed the first half with a foot problem. Despite playing 17 minutes after the original injury occurred, the first test ruled out de Jong for five to seven weeks, meaning he would miss several key games for the Catalans.

One of them is El Clasico, scheduled for October 28. The match took place in five weeks, so de Jong will be absent unless he recovers sooner than expected. According to the MD, Barcelona will not rule out having the Dutchman against Real Madrid. However, they would only include him if he had fully recovered from his injuries. Like Ronald Araujo and Pedri, Barcelona will not risk de Jong's recovery as they hope to avoid more serious problems.


The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether de Jong is available for El Clasico. Barcelona will do everything they can to keep him in their tackle as they He must be a better team with him in the team, but there is no risk that does not need to be considered.
