Reports indicate that De Jong's rehabilitation is going very well, and the midfielder is already training individually on the pitch. However, a return for the La Liga fixture against Atlético on April 4 remains unlikely, but the Dutchman stands a strong chance of playing against "Los Colchoneros" in the Champions League on April 8.

De Jong sustained his hamstring injury in February and has been sidelined ever since.

This season, De Jong has made 31 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 1 goal and providing 7 assists.
