The Dutch midfield player drags annoyances in his right ankle and continues without training with the rest of his mates, by what from the medical services have decided to reserve him a week more. His date of return is an authentic mystery.

Beside Sergi Roberto, that suffers injury in the sóleo of his right leg and would have to be back before the stop of selections, Of Jong is the only that keeps in the infirmary. Pedri González was the last in receiving the high medical and saw more than half hour of action in the victory against the Real Sociedad, in Anoeta. The initial forecast was that the two returned at the same time, but the uncertainty with the tulip is absolute. To the culés touches him have a lot of patience.

The time estimated of drop was of a month, but the medical services 'warned' that depended also of the feelings. It has fulfilled this last prognosis, because up to now the footballer has not been comfortable physically. It follows having annoyances in the area affected that they have deprived him to add to the trainings grupales in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

They are varied the sources that suggest that it would be necessary to expect until after the stop of selections to see him in action. The Barça will contest two parties more, against the Shakhtar (Tuesday, to the 18:45 hours)and will receive to the Sportive Alavés the Sunday from the 16:15h. The forecast is that Of Jong absent in both commitments and his comeback produce in the visit to the Ray Vallecano, on 25 November (14:00 hours). In this moment, would owe already be to 100%.

The return of Pedri gives more margin of manoeuvre to the trainer egarense, that also has Ílkay Gündogan, Gavi, Oriol Romeu and Fermín López like alternatives to configure his centre of the field. In the next parties, there are a lot of possibilities that it go back the diagram of four midfield players and sacrifice to an attacker. In the Classical and in front of the Real Sociedad already had descartado to an extreme, but the bet had been to advance to Joao Cancel of position. Now, the history will change.
