Bad times for Luuk de Jong at Barcelona. It seems that it does not count for much for the new coaching staff that Xavi Hernández commands and also, he is the protagonist for the worse before the game at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The Dutch striker was ‘forgotten’ in the official call that Barcelona published in the run-up to the clash against Villarreal. Luuk de Jong’s name was not among the players who started the match from the bench.
Call with Luuk and the back with the forward.
Quickly, Barcelona fans realized that they had been forgotten and began to wonder why the forward was not among the members of the bench. His absence had not been reported at the last minute since he had traveled to Vila-Real. He did not get to jump the alarms since minutes later, the Catalan club corrected the members of the convocation with the already presence of Luuk de Jong. The forward has not played a minute in Barcelona’s last four games since the departure of its main supporter, Ronald Koeman.
