Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is receiving treatment after club medical tests found he has a torn knee ligament, according to reports from Nigeria and Malaysia. The injury is described as being identified after his return from the World Cup, when Barcelona doctors reassess his condition with more intensive testing. Multiple outlets say the initial diagnosis provided by Dutch medical staff was less severe than the updated assessment made by Barcelona’s team. The reports state that the club’s doctors’ follow-up evaluation reveals damage beyond what was first thought, leading to the conclusion that de Jong has a torn ligament. He is now undergoing treatment for the injury as Barcelona manages his recovery. The articles focus on the timing and updated medical findings rather than specific match or training absences. No outlet provides confirmed details on an exact recovery timeline.
