Dealing with knee discomfort
de Jong finished the World Cup carrying discomfort in his right knee but the issue is not considered serious, with Barcelona expecting him to begin preseason without problems after three weeks of rest, according to Barca Universal.
Analysis: de Jong departed the tournament after the Netherlands' penalty shootout defeat to Morocco, having managed his knee discomfort throughout the competition. That said, Barcelona's medical staff are not worried about the issue and are confident the midfielder will be fully available when preseason preparations begin.
Exits 2026 World Cup
De Jong registered two tackles (two won), five clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout defeat to Morocco.
Analysis: De Jong had a rough final match of the 2026 World Cup, as he was mainly forced to defend in an outnumbered Dutch midfield. This would lead to no attacking stats for him, only recording two interceptions, two tackles won and five clearances in the defense. He unfortunately goes home without a goal contribution at the tournament after two in 2022, only recording one shot and two chances created.
