Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong joins up with Netherlands squad despite injury doubt

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong was withdrawn at half-time during their defeat to Real Sociedad, seemingly nursing a knee injury after he clashed with an opposition player. After five months out of action this year, it refreshed fears of a potential injury issue.

However after tests this morning, it appears de Jong has been cleared of injury. The Dutchman only has a knock on his shin, according to Adria Albets, while Sport say that he was taken off out of precaution on Sunday night.

De Jong will travel to Amsterdam to meet up with the Netherlands squad for their upcoming international games against Hungary and then Bosnia and Herzegovina next week.
