Frenkie de Jong, sidelined by a knee injury sustained with the Netherlands at the World Cup, is targeting a return to full training for Barcelona after the international break. The midfielder has missed the entire season so far, impacting Hansi Flick's midfield planning. While a return to training is a significant step, it does not guarantee immediate match availability. Current estimates suggest a possible return to competitive action in November, with a potential appearance against Alaves in La Liga. However, this remains a projection, and Barcelona will closely monitor de Jong's progress in training with his teammates before confirming a specific fixture. His successful reintegration into group training will be key to his first-team comeback.
