"In a rather concerning development, Carlos Monfort of SPORT reports that Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is not training with the rest of the team three days before the first El Clasico of the season. The Blaugrana take on Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday in a top-of-the-table encounter. As it is, they will be without important players such as Joan Garcia, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen."
"De Jong not feeling well As per the update, De Jong was not training with the rest of the team today and has left the Ciutat Esportiva already. That is because the Netherlands international was feeling unwell and was in no state to be able to train this morning. This is naturally a big concern for Barcelona, but at the same time, with the Clasico still three days away, there is time for the Dutchman to recover and make himself available for Hansi Flick."
Barcelona face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in a top-of-the-table El Clasico on Sunday. Frenkie de Jong did not train with the rest of the squad three days before the match and left the Ciutat Esportiva after feeling unwell. Several other players are already unavailable, including Joan Garcia, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen. De Jong is a central figure for Hansi Flick, and his availability would be important given the absentees. There is still time before the match for recovery. Raphinha has resumed group training and is expected to be fit.
