Barcelona: Frenkie de Jong and Depay are out due to hamstring injuries
Barça will be without Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay for a while after the two were injured in training.
The Catalan giants have announced the two Dutch players - Frenkie de Jong and
Memphis Depay- are out indefinitely due to injuries sustained while playing for their country.
Frenkie De Jongwas replaced due to injury in the second half of the Netherlands' triumph over Poland, and Memphis was substituted out at halftime. After losing to Belgium on Sunday, both players flew back to
Barcelona.
Barcelona's central defender
Ronald Araujo
has also been injured and will miss the rest of the international break. Barca has announced the Uruguayan international will have thigh surgery.
Even Xavi's defence is suffering without
Jules Kounde
right now. The defender tore his hamstring in France's win over Austria in the Nations League and will not be available for the Catalan giants.
"Tests carried out today have confirmed hamstring injuries for both Frenkie de Jong and Memphis," read a club statement. "Midfielder Frenkie de Jong has an elongation of the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh. He is not available for selection and his recovery will dictate his return. Striker Memphis has an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh. He is not available for selection and his recovery will dictate his return."
Xavi and his injury-plagued squad will play their first La Liga game since before the international break this coming Saturday at
Real Mallorca
.
