Frenkie De Jong suffers season-ending grade two ankle sprain

According to the Daily Sports Report, Frenkie De Jong has sustained a grade two sprain to his right ankle, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. However, the Dutch midfielder is expected to be available for this summer's European Championship.

Frenkie De Jong, who started in the national derby against Real Madrid, suffered the injury to his right ankle in the first half following a collision with Valverde and was subsequently substituted. This marks the third time this season that the Dutch midfielder has suffered an injury to his right ankle.

The report states that medical examinations conducted on Frenkie De Jong this afternoon confirmed a grade two sprain to his right ankle, which means he will be sidelined for approximately five weeks. Consequently, van de Beek will no longer be able to represent Barcelona for the remainder of the season.

Frenkie De Jong is expected to miss matches against Valencia, Girona, Real Sociedad, Almeria, and Mallorca. Additionally, he is likely to be unavailable for the final match of the season in La Liga. If Barcelona have already secured second place in the league, all indications suggest that van de Beek will not feature for Barcelona until next season.

However, Frenkie De Jong is expected to make his return during the two friendly matches before the first game of the European Championship, when the Netherlands will face Canada and Iceland, respectively.
