Barcelona have revealed that Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay have suffered hamstring injuries.
The duo had to leave international service during the 2-0 victory of the Netherlands over Poland on Thursday, with De Jong being replaced at halftime and Depay limping after seven minutes in the second half.
And the Catalan giants have now confirmed that the Dutch duo are sidelined – along with Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde – a major blow to manager Xavi ahead of a busy run of games in October.

A club statement read: ‘Tests conducted today have confirmed hamstring injuries for both Frenkie de Jong and Memphis. Midfielder Frenkie de Jong has an extension of the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh.
He is not available for selection and his recovery will determine his return. Striker Memphis has an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh. He is not available for selection and his recovery will determine his return.”
Both players had returned to Spain after the game against Poland and missed their country’s 1-0 win against Belgium on Sunday.
Defender Ronald Araujo may be out until 2023 and will have surgery on his thigh on Wednesday
The news comes at a bad time, with Barca confirming on Monday that key defender Araujo will undergo surgery on his thigh in Finland on Wednesday, potentially eliminating him from the World Cup.
The club has not given any indication on how long Araujo will be sidelined, but it is possible that the 23-year-old will be out until 2023.
Versatile French defender Jules Kunde is also currently out, taking a blow in France’s 2-0 Nations League win against Austria on Thursday.
