Frenkie de Jong was replaced at halftime of the Bar\u00e7a-Osasuna match. Alarm bells went off among Barcelona fans, but the ’21’ was substituted as a precaution.<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The spectacular victory of FC Barcelona<\/strong> against Osasuna<\/strong> (3-0) left a bittersweet taste in the mouths of Barcelona fans. Despite earning three points that give them sole leadership in LaLiga<\/strong>, the azulgranas suffered the painful loss of Dani Olmo<\/a>, who had to be substituted during the first half due to a muscle problem after scoring the second goal of the night from the penalty spot.<\/p>

As if that weren’t enough, alarm bells rang again at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys<\/strong> at halftime, as Hansi Flick<\/a> made the decision to substitute Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> for Pablo Torre<\/strong> in midfield. A change that suggested that something was not quite right with the Dutchman, who played a masterful 45 minutes.<\/p>

However, despite the existing concern in the Catalan capital, journalist Helena Condis explained after the match that the ’21’ blaugrana was relegated to the bench due to a muscle overload<\/strong> and ruled out any serious injury, revealing that the player’s substitution was made as a precaution.<\/p>

Flick hopes to have De Jong against Girona<\/h2>

The number of matches that Bar\u00e7a players are exposed to and the little rest time they have has been a topic of debate in recent days. Frenkie<\/strong>, for example, totaled 179 minutes in the tie against Spain<\/strong> in the quarterfinals of the Nations League (74 in the first leg and 105 in the second leg), which is why Flick<\/strong> must carefully manage the minute load of his players.<\/p>

De Jong<\/strong> has become a key player for the German coach, establishing himself as the chief of the engine room after the injury of Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong>. The player left his mark against Osasuna, leading the play of the first goal with a wall pass to Ferran Torres<\/strong> and providing the penultimate pass for Balde<\/strong>, who assisted the Valencian.<\/p>

Now, it remains to be seen what decision Flick makes regarding the midfielder, as he may need rest to avoid any minimal risk of a possible injury. “It’s not like the case of Dani Olmo, I think he will be able to play on Sunday. We have to wait, but it looks good<\/strong>“, explained the German after the match against the rojillos, so it seems that the player will be present against Girona.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
