Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has moved to shut down any and all speculation surrounding an alleged strained relationship between he and midfield star Frenkie de Jong.
The name of Dutchman De Jong has of course taken its place front and centre in the media chatter surrounding Barcelona once more over the last couple of months.
After the former Ajax man played full part in the Netherlands' campaign at the World Cup, his return to base in Catalunya's capital revealed a serious knee injury. De Jong, in turn, was ruled out for the opening months of the upcoming campaign.
The situation as a whole was at the time reported to have gone down extremely poorly behind the scenes at Barcelona, with De Jong accused of poor decision-making and judgement of his own wellbeing.
Murmurs of a tense rapport between the 29-year-old and his manager, in turn, quickly began to spread, too.
