"Barcelona Provides Frenkie de Jong Injury Update Following El Clasico"

Barcelona has provided an update on Frenkie de Jong's injury following his stretcher exit during Sunday's Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. The midfielder sustained another ankle injury, causing visible distress as he left the field.

In a statement, Barcelona announced, "Tests conducted on Monday confirmed that first-team player Frenkie de Jong has a right ankle sprain. He is sidelined, and his recovery will determine his availability."

De Jong will miss Barcelona's remaining six La Liga matches but is expected to recover in time for Euro 2024, as reported by ESPN.

With the defeat in El Clasico, Barcelona's season is effectively concluded. Despite having six games left, Xavi's team aims to secure second place ahead of Girona.

Barcelona's upcoming match is against Valencia in a week's time, followed by clashes with Girona, Real Sociedad, Almeria, Rayo, and Sevilla to conclude the season.
