De Jong was replaced by Sergio Roberto in the 77th minute and was seen in visible discomfort. The club is yet to provide any further reports on his injury. There has been no reports released that have disclosed the time frame that the midfielder will be out for.
Barcelona have been struggling to find stability and consistency this season and an injury blow to on of their most talented prospects is definitely worrying. It is worth noting that De Jong suffered an injury blow during the pre-season as well. It was a calf injury and the midfielder was able to overcome that quickly.
However, hamstring injury if serious can take a while to heal. Moreover, he was regularly playing games without proper rest and recovery which could have also played a factor in the injury occurring at the first place.
FC Barcelona will look to have De Jong back as soon as possible as they would not want him to miss out on important games. Further reports from the club will give us some clarity in the situation, till then the fans can just hope to see him recover as quickly as possible.
