‘We've To Deal With Consequences', Koeman Slams FC Barcelona For De Jong Injury
Dutch Manager Ronald Koeman: The Netherlands' Euro 2024 dreams took a hit with the news that influential midfielder Frenkie de Jong has been ruled out due to a lingering ankle injury.
Following Netherlands' 4-0 victory over Iceland in an International friendly, Dutch Manager Ronald Koeman criticised his former club FC Barcelona for risking De Jong’s injury by playing him.
"We made the decision this afternoon. We have assessed that Frenkie de Jong won't be ready for the next three weeks. He has a history with this right ankle injury and it's not worth taking any risks. His club took risks before, and now we have to deal with the consequences," stated the former Barca player and coach, as quoted by Dutch media outlet NOS.
