According to the latest report by journalist Moretto in Marca, De Jong suffered a serious knee injury and may be out for several months.

Reportedly, on Monday, Barcelona first-team players underwent medical examinations, and not all players participated as those who played in the World Cup were given a few extra days of rest. However, Araujo and De Jong also came to the club, and the bad news came from the latter.

The Dutch midfielder suffered a serious knee injury. A final diagnosis has not yet been made, and he will undergo further examinations in the coming days. However, the club is deeply concerned and is starting to fear the worst. It is not ruled out that he could be out for several months, with rumors suggesting he might be sidelined for four months.

The club's medical statement regarding this injury is now awaited, as Barcelona has not yet officially announced anything. First, the player's condition must be determined, which can only happen after he completes all necessary examinations. At present, the situation does not look optimistic.

It is still unclear how long he will be out this time. If the four-month absence prediction is true, the Dutch midfielder will not return until November at the earliest and will miss most of the beginning of the season.
