De Jong, replaced with a sprained ankle

Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong noticed discomfort in his right ankle during the first half of the match against Celta and had to be replaced by Gavi in ​​the 35th minute.

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.

Minutes later, the club reported that the Dutch midfielder suffered a sprain to his right ankle. The player will undergo further tests to determine the extent of the injury, although he is likely to be out for around ten days.

At that moment Barça was already losing on the scoreboard after Strand Larssen's goal. The blaugranas were trying to put the leaders to sleep before the derby between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid.
