Frenkie de Jong could face a lengthy absence from the pitch, significantly impacting FC Barcelona's midfield. This comes after an already challenging season for the Dutch player, who accumulated a total of 72 days off due to various injuries.

De Jong’s current setback raises concerns, especially after having missed 45 days earlier this year due to a hamstring injury, followed by an additional eight days of recovery from another issue. The midfielder did manage to participate in the World Cup, albeit while dealing with discomfort. His optimism about his recovery contrasts sharply with the grim projections for his return.

Meanwhile, despite the uncertainties surrounding De Jong's fitness, the value of Barcelona’s fan token, BAR, remains steady. Trading consistently between $0.27 and $0.28, the token's stability comes as a surprise, especially given the potential impact of high-profile injuries on market movements. Currently, there are approximately 25.86 million BAR tokens in circulation. Interestingly, even significant player injuries do not seem to sway the short-term value of fan tokens, as evidenced by the lack of fluctuations following updates on De Jong's condition.
