Barcelona leader refuses surgery. When will he return to the pitch?

Barcelona and Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong continues to recover from his injury. The player has been sidelined for five months, and it remains uncertain when he will return to the field.

Details: According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona is recommending surgery for their player. The club’s doctors believe that surgical intervention is necessary for treating the ankle sprain, while the player, following advice from external specialists, considers conservative treatment to be far more effective.

Recall: The collision with Fede Valverde (April 21) forced Frenkie de Jong to leave the field on a stretcher, not realizing that this injury would be more serious than the previous two.

It was previously reported that the Dutch midfielder would start training next week; however, the risk of a recurrence remains very high. The player has not yet agreed to surgery and will certainly not be available to help Barcelona in their upcoming matches.
