Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who retired this Saturday during the match against Celta, suffers an injury to the distal tibioperoneal syndesmosis in his right ankle, which could keep him out for more than a month and would therefore miss the classic against Real Madrid on October 28
De Jong noticed discomfort in his right ankle during the first half and had to be replaced by Gavi in the 35th minute.
The club reports that the tests carried out have shown that De Jong "suffers an injury to the distal tibioperoneal syndesmosis of the right ankle", that "it is low" and that "his evolution will determine his availability."
In an action in which he tried to snatch the ball from Bamba, the Dutchman suffered an ailment that left him limping for several minutes until he asked for a change.
Barcelona's next three games are next Tuesday against Mallorca in Palma, three days later at home against Sevilla and October 4 in Porto in the Champions League.
