The Dutch star is a surprise omission from Hansi Flick’s squad list, with the club having now confirmed he is out due to a fever.
We’ll have to wait and see how Flick lines his team up without De Jong tonight. Pedri is expected to return to the starting XI after injury, while Marc Casado and Marc Bernal will also be hoping for starts.
Flick has also called up 19-year-old prospect Tommy Marques to the squad for the match at Camp Nou.
