New Delhi: Barcelona’s talented midfielder Frenkie de Jong is finally getting close to making his comeback to the field after an extended layoff of about five months. according to online reports De Jong chose not to have surgery, which will enable him to make his comeback. To the satisfaction of manager Hansi Flick, the Dutch football player is anticipated to begin practicing with the team the next week.
