Hansi Flick surprises everyone and decides to include the fai,led Barcelona star in the starting lineup against Leganes tonight
The Barcelona vs. Leganes match in the 17th round of La Liga is just hours away. The match will take place at Montjuic Stadium and is crucial for Barcelona as they aim to strengthen their lead at the top of La Liga and apply pressure on Real Madrid, who drew 3-3 with Rayo Vallecano yesterday.
According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, there is a chance that Frenkie de Jong will be included in the starting lineup for tonight’s match. The report states that the Dutch midfielder has the trust of coach Hansi Flick, who has given him playing time in all the recent matches since his injury return, except for the Sevilla game.
Reports suggest that the German manager believes playing Frenkie will help him regain his best form, which is why Flick continues to include him in Barcelona’s lineups. This decision, however, goes against the wishes of some Barcelona fans, who would prefer to see the Dutch player excluded from the squad until he is sold and leaves the team.
