De Jong's Stance on Participation Against Newcastle in the Champions League
Monday 15-09-2025
Spanish media reports have revealed developments regarding Dutch international Frenkie de Jong's situation with Barcelona ahead of the match against Newcastle in the Champions League.

Barcelona achieved a resounding victory over Valencia with a score of 6-0 yesterday, a match from which De Jong was absent due to a muscle injury he sustained with the Dutch national team during the World Cup qualifiers against Poland.

According to journalist Gerard Romero, who is close to Barcelona, De Jong participated in the team's recent training normally, but he did not get full minutes in the match against Valencia, as caution is being exercised to prevent aggravating the injury.

De Jong is preparing to participate in the upcoming match for Barcelona against Newcastle, scheduled for next Thursday at St. James' Park, and his participation primarily depends on the results of Tuesday's training, as the final medical clearance will be issued then.

The match between Barcelona and Newcastle in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League for the 2025/2026 season is set to kick off at 10 PM Cairo and Mecca time.
