Frenkie de Jong is going through a complicated time at FC Barcelona. The Dutch midfielder was whistled when he came on in Barcelona’s 3-0 win in the UEFA Champions League over Brest.
A section of the fans are not pleased with the Dutch midfielder, through a combination of issues. His lack of rhythm after an injury this season has made it hard for him to shine. There are some sections of the fanbase that question his commitment, his salary, and whether he will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Hansi Flick offered a fresh start for De Jong, whose injury was initially thought to be light but kept him out longer than expected. At the moment there are those that say De Jong, far from recovering his best form, has fallen further down the pecking order.
Can he turn it around soon?
