Barca are said to fear the worst and believe he could be set for several months on the sidelines.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to AS, the medical check-up found that the “knee was completely unstable and that there could even be ligament damage.” Further tests are due to be carried out because “the internal bleeding prevented an MRI scan from being performed.”Barcelona are pessimistic about the outcome and fear De Jong will need to go under the knife which could see him sidelined for around 4-6 months.AS also add there is “monumental anger” at the club as they feel “misled” by the Dutch team.
