Impact De Jong returned to play for a short time Saturday after just over a month out with injury and continues to trend in the right direction. He is now possibly in the pool of names to start Tuesday as they head into UCL action, although the verdict is still up in the air. The major question is whether he will have enough in his hamstring to play in a match where Barcelona will need to push the pace, potentially warranting him only a bench role. Pedri is set to for sure start for the club, but with de Jong's option in the starting XI still unknown, Marc Casado or Gavi could slide in next to Pedri.

Assists in return de Jong assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 win against Espanyol.

Impact de Jong made his return from a hamstring injury that had kept him out for the last nine games, coming on for a six minute cameo and contributing an assist in that short time. His comeback is a timely boost for Barcelona ahead of Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Atletico Madrid, where his availability could help solve a defensive problem caused by Pau Cubarsi's red card, potentially allowing Eric Garcia to drop back to center back. However, coach Hansi Flick has indicated after the game that it is still unclear whether the midfielder can contribute more than 45 or 60 minutes at this stage.

Makes squad for derby de Jong (hamstring) was included in the matchday squad for Saturday's derby against Espanyol, the club posted.

Impact de Jong has been sidelined for six weeks with the hamstring issue but is now fit enough to be back in the fold for Barcelona.

Impact de Jong hits the six-week mark of his recovery from the distal biceps injury right on schedule, and training without restrictions Friday is the final confirmation that he is ready to return.
