After being sidelined for five months, Barcelona midfielder and third captain Frenkie de Jong has resumed group training, providing a major boost for the team. The Netherlands international took part in part of the session with the full squad, moving closer to his return after an ankle injury kept him out of action since late April.
De Jong opted against undergoing surgery and has stuck to conservative treatment as he was advised by those close to him that there was no guarantee that an operation would guarantee complete recovery.
There had been some discontent brewing within the club about his situation, but De Jong’s return to training today means that an on-field comeback is now on the horizon.
