Former Stoke City and Anderlecht boss Johan Boskamp has offered advice to Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde.

Barca have been hit by a defensive injury crisis ahead of their clash with Sevilla.

But Boskamp says Valverde has a solution under his nose in Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

He told Ziggo Sports: "You have two players you can put back there: Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets.

"In this way, the position in the midfield is always heavily occupied.

"Frenkie de Jong knows how Luuk de Jong (Sevilla striker) plays and how to play against him, as they have regularly clashed in the Eredivisie."
