De Jong is now set to miss Barca’s final six La Liga matches of the season but is expected to be fit for this summer’s Euro 2024, according to ESPN.
Barcelona’s season is pretty much over after defeat in El Clasico. Xavi’s side have six games left but will still want to beat Girona into second place.
The team’s next game is a week today against Valencia. Barca then take on Girona before finishing off with games against Real Sociedad, Almeria, Rayo and Sevilla.
