Hansi Flick Welcomes Frenkie de Jong's Return Ahead of Champions League Match

Posted : 30 September 2024

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his excitement about the return of midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who is set to make his comeback from injury ahead of the Champions League clash against Young Boys on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Dutch international has been sidelined since April due to an ankle injury, which also caused him to miss the European Championship this summer. Flick confirmed that de Jong will be included in the squad and is prepared to make a brief appearance, even if it's just for a few minutes.

 

Flick conveyed the importance of de Jong's return, stating, "This is super good news to have Frenkie back with us, whether it's for five or 10 minutes; he's very important for us." He praised de Jong's positive attitude and his willingness to contribute to the team during his recovery. Despite not being ready for a full match, Flick believes that even a short stint on the pitch will benefit de Jong significantly.

 

The coach also acknowledged that Barcelona is still dealing with injuries to several other key players, including Gavi and Ronald Araujo, while Eric Garcia is unavailable due to a suspension incurred after receiving a red card in their Champions League opener against Monaco. This string of injuries has presented challenges for the Catalan giants, who recently suffered a defeat against the Ligue 1 side and have faced difficulties in European competitions in recent years.

 

Flick remains optimistic about his team's prospects, emphasizing their goal of winning every match. "We want to win all the games, the team and I as a coach, and I'm very positive we can do that," he said. He highlighted the hard work being put into training and the focus on playing entertaining football, reinforcing his belief that the team can regain the respect of their opponents and achieve success in the Champions League.
