Journalist Javi Miguel has reported that Frenkie de Jong, the midfield star of FC Barcelona, has suffered a hamstring tear that will sideline him for a significant period.

According to the report, the Dutch international is expected to be out for at least one month, ruling him out of several crucial fixtures for the Catalan side.

De Jong is set to miss key matches in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League, dealing a blow to Barcelona during a demanding stretch of the season.

He is anticipated to return after the upcoming international break in early April, provided his recovery progresses as planned.
