Dutch star Frenkie de Jong missed Barcelona's group training this morning, Tuesday, for personal reasons that have not yet been revealed, according to the Spanish newspaper "Sport".

The Catalan team returned to training at the sports city after a day and a half of rest following a tough victory against Real Mallorca in the opening round of La Liga, in a match that witnessed harsh weather conditions due to high temperatures.

The newspaper confirmed that De Jong's absence is due to special and personal circumstances, noting that the news regarding this is positive, but there is no need to disclose details out of respect for the player's privacy, and he is expected to return to training soon.

The training session also saw several players engaged in individual training, as part of the coaching staff's plan to distribute physical loads, given the busy match schedule, with no injuries or muscular issues reported.

On another note, Barcelona's management continues its movements in the transfer market, as it seeks to expedite some exits to reduce the wage bill, aiming to register young duo Gerard Martin and Rony Badger before the market closes.

Barcelona is preparing to face newly promoted Levante next Saturday, in the second round of La Liga.
