Xavi reassures FC Barcelona fans about Frenkie de Jong's condition

Xavi, the head coach of the Netherlands national team, has reassured FC Barcelona fans regarding Frenkie de Jong's condition, clarifying that his substitution during the match against Greece was due to back pain and not as a result of an injury.

The Netherlands secured a massive 7-0 victory over Greece in the UEFA Nations League, with Frenkie de Jong participating in the first half before being substituted at the start of the second half.

Xavi confirmed that a Barcelona player felt back pain even before the match started, so it was decided to substitute him during the break. He assured that the issue is not serious and that he will be available for the match against Germany next Monday.

The coach added, according to what was reported by the Telegraph, that Frenkie de Jong was unable to continue playing, but he hopes that he will be ready for the next match.

Frenkie de Jong explained that his substitution was due to caution, especially since he recently returned from injury and had not participated in a significant number of playing minutes. He noted that there was no need to take risks given the extensive travel and international commitments.
