"Frenkie de Jong was not among the players who trained under Hansi Flick's orders on Monday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury."
"The absences of Frenkie and Bernal leave a big question mark in midfield: Gavi is not quite ready to start just yet, leaving Eric Garcia and Marc Casadó as the two options to start alongside Pedri at Camp Nou."
Barcelona is preparing for the Champions League quarter-final against Atlético Madrid, but Frenkie de Jong is absent due to a hamstring injury. He is not expected to play in the first leg, joining other injured players like Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal. The coaching staff hopes to have De Jong available for a few minutes in the upcoming La Liga derby against Espanyol, which would help him prepare for the second leg against Atlético. Gavi is not ready to start, leaving Eric Garcia and Marc Casadó as options in midfield.
