Frenkie de Jong injury | Koeman’s transfer to Barca for De Jong

A huge shock in the Dutch team was caused by the news that Frenkie de Jong would miss the European Championships in Germany. Just a few days before the start of the tournament, Voetbal International reported that The Tulip midfielder could not forget the discomfort from his ankle injury and decided to abandon it so as not to put this affected area at serious risk.

A very difficult loss for the team led by Ronald Koeman. This Monday the Netherlands played their last friendly match against Iceland (4-0). before making his debut on the 16th against Poland’s Robert Lewandowski (who, by the way, was substituted due to injury today).

STRONG LANGUAGE

At the press conference after the meeting Koeman surprised Barca with a dart: “We have come to the conclusion that even in the next 3 weeks De Jong will not be able to fully recover. He has had such an injury in the past. His club has taken risks before and now we will have to pay for it.”

Harsh words from a Barça legend who had already left through the back door as Barça coach after a confrontation with Joan Laporta.
