The report indicates that de Jong has sustained a minor injury to the external obturator muscle in his right leg, making it uncertain if he will play against Valencia next week.

Journalist Pintanel mentioned on X that while the injury isn’t serious, de Jong will still likely miss the match against Valencia.

Frenkie de Jong was substituted in the 83rd minute during the game against Poland and returned to Barcelona for medical tests, leaving the Netherlands squad early.

Last season, de Jong was a vital player for Barcelona, making 46 appearances and contributing 2 goals and 2 assists.
