The midfielder is in the squad for Osasuna clash

Frenkie de Jong is back from injury and in Barcelona’s squad for Thursday’s match against Osasuna at the Camp Nou.

The Dutchman has been out for a little while with a calf problem and has only featured once since the restart because of the injury.

His return will be a boost for Barca ahead of their final two games and the return of the Champions League in August.

Quique Setien spoke about the Netherlands international in his pre-match press conference and said he would play some part in the match either as a starter or a substitute.

De Jong’s last outing came in Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Real Mallorca which saw him subbed late on and then miss the club’s next eight games.
