The 27-year-old midfielder of the Dutch national team and Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong will not be able to play at Euro 2024, which will be held from June 14 to July 14 in Germany, due to an injury sustained at the end of the La Liga season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the player will not recover in time for the start of the tournament, despite being included in the final application form of the national team. At the same time, it was decided not to make an unnecessary operation, after which the likelihood of going on the field would be extremely low.
Recall that de Jong left in April with an ankle injury for the rest of the season, but remained optimistic about the upcoming Euros, but the extent of the ankle injury, apparently, was stronger than expected.
Earlier, Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola reflected on the upcoming Euro 2024 and named the national teams he considers favorites to win.
