Jong shows progress ahead of return to group training

As he approaches a return to the group, Jong has shown his progress and posted an image accompanied by a message. The Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong has yet to make his debut for Barça this season: a right-knee injury sustained at the last World Cup has kept him out. He is now closer to resuming sessions with his teammates.

On Saturday, De Jong shared footage of his training at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí. He can be seen active in the drills, both without the ball and with it. The sequence offers a look at his work as he moves closer to a return to group training; it does not, however, mean that he has already resumed sessions with the group.

Alongside the training footage, De Jong posted a final photograph with a message. The last photo in the carousel shows only the word “Barça”. The image therefore appears to express his attachment to the club, while the training clips highlight his progress ahead of a return to sessions with his teammates.
