Frenkie de Jong’s season is in jeopardy after a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee, forcing him to miss the start of the campaign despite his insistence on playing through pain. Barcelona’s medical team is frustrated with the Dutch staff for allowing him to continue despite earlier signs of trouble, especially after his hamstring injury sidelined him earlier this year. Though the club won’t be signing a new midfielder, stars like Pedri and Gavi are ready to step up. De Jong’s recovery will be closely monitored, with surgery possible if treatment fails — potentially keeping him out for up to four months.
