Flick brings Frenkie de Jong out of ostracism, but it's not enough
The Dutchman had not played a single minute this season in the League
Frenkie de Jong had not played a single minute in the League. His future at Camp Nou was uncertain, with the club reportedly tired of him, particularly after his handling of a knee injury in the last World Cup. According to the club, De Jong did not notify them of his discomfort and went on vacation. Hansi Flick had aligned with the club, and the arrival of Rodri threatened De Jong's status, but Flick sent him to the field as an interior against Madrid.
