Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has taken a significant step in his recovery journey, returning to action with the Dutch national team after an extended period on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

His comeback marks an important milestone following an ankle injury that had kept him out of competitive football for months.<\/p>\n

De Jong\u2019s absence was felt deeply, as he had not featured for the Netherlands in over a year, leaving both club and country awaiting his return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t played for a long time, I\u2019m happy to be back,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>he said after Netherlands\u2019 4-0 win over Hungary as quoted by\u00a0SPORT.<\/p>\n

Challenges along the way<\/h2>\n

The Barcelona player acknowledged the challenges he still faces in getting back to his best. While he has resumed playing, he admitted to experiencing occasional discomfort in his ankle.<\/p>\n

These lingering issues have slightly affected his confidence on the pitch, as he adjusts to the demands of high-level football again. De Jong is aware that regaining his rhythm and sharpness will require consistent game time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s a risk, but the feeling is not the same as before. It should improve from now on,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>he admitted.<\/p>\n

Despite his determination, De Jong revealed that he will not start the Netherlands\u2019 next match, choosing to take a cautious approach to his reintegration.<\/p>\n

He will, however, stay with the national team to continue his rehabilitation and contribute in a limited capacity if needed.\u00a0\u201cI will stay with the national team, but I will not start the next game.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One step at a time<\/h2>\n

Interestingly, Dutch coach Ronald Koeman seems to share this patient approach, keen to ensure that De Jong is fully fit before placing heavier demands on him.<\/p>\n

For both Barcelona and the Netherlands, De Jong\u2019s return is a source of optimism. Although he is not yet at his peak, his presence on the pitch signals progress.<\/p>\n

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has continued to place his trust in the Dutch midfielder, recognising his importance to the team\u2019s tactical setup.<\/p>\n

De Jong\u2019s 68-minute performance during his comeback game is a promising sign that he is on track to reclaim his influential role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
