Barcelona begin Galatasaray preparations as De Jong trains and record-equaling start confirmed

FC Barcelona have turned the page on their hard-fought win over Getafe and begun preparations for their first away trip of this season's Champions League, with a visit to Galatasaray on the horizon.

According to the club, Monday's schedule split the squad in two: the players who started against Getafe completed a recovery session, while the substitutes — including Frenkie de Jong — took part in a full training session. De Jong's participation is a notable step in his return from the injury that kept him out of Saturday's league victory, when he had been listed among the absentees alongside Raphinha and Roony Bardghji.
