German coach Hans Flick faces significant challenges in the upcoming phase, which will be marked by intense pressure due to the high volume of matches following the current international break. Meanwhile, Barcelona leads the La Liga standings this season with 12 points from their first four games. Recent Spanish press reports have also highlighted the latest updates on the injury status of Frenkie de Jong, a key player for Barcelona.
Spanish reports suggest that sources within Barcelona have indicated that Frenkie de Jong might return to training with the team after the international break, though this comeback carries considerable risk. The reports state that doctors overseeing De Jong’s treatment have determined that the injured area has become very weak, making surgery the best option. De Jong opted for surgery, but this decision could potentially lead to future complications at the injury site, which might adversely impact his football career and possibly force him to retire.
