Frenkie de Jong, undoubtedly one of the most important figures in world football today, is not present at Euro 2024 with the Netherlands national team. His absence becomes one of the most notable casualties of the tournament, leaving a significant void in the Dutch team and raising questions among fans and experts.
De Jong has established himself in recent years as one of the best midfielders on the planet. His talent, vision and ability to control the pace of the game have made him a fundamental piece for both FC Barcelona and his country’s national team.
Over time, De Jong has become a crucial part of Barcelona’s squad. Even though the club has faced challenges and is no longer at the peak of its previous success, De Jong continues to shine as a symbol of talent and consistency. Likewise, for the Dutch national team, he stands out as a fundamental player and a key figure.

De Jong’s absence is a major blow to the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 aspirations. The team loses one of its most important players and faces a demanding tournament without one of its footballing references.
