Frenkie de Jong returns to partial training with Barcelona ahead of La Liga match

Summary

Frenkie de Jong is set to take part in part of Barcelona's training session today as the team prepares for their upcoming La Liga match against Getafe. This marks a return to the pitch for De Jong after nine days of rest due to a right-knee problem. His rehabilitation follows conservative treatment for an injury sustained during the World Cup. Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick will have limited time to integrate De Jong into the squad, with only two training sessions remaining before the fixture. The team will see a gradual reintegration of players following the international break.
