Hansi Flick: ‘I Chose Gavi Over De Jong’ – Barcelona Star Not Injured

Barcelona, Spain – To address concerns about Frenkie de Jong’s fitness, head coach Hansi Flick confirmed that the midfielder is not injured after he remained on the bench during the team’s 5-1 victory over Sevilla on Sunday.

De Jong’s absence raised questions among fans about his health, but Flick explained that he had only faced a minor fitness issue in training. “Frenkie is not injured; I could have played him today,” Flick said. “I simply chose to bring in Gavi instead.”

This choice came as Barcelona celebrated a strong start to the La Liga season, achieving nine wins in ten matches. Flick’s decision to select Gavi highlights his confidence in the young player while reassuring that De Jong’s condition is not a concern.

As Barcelona continues to lead the league, attention will turn to how Flick plans to manage the squad’s depth and fitness in the upcoming matches
