Barcelona have confirmed that Jules Kounde is fit and in the squad for Sunday’s Clasico clash against Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The news is a massive boost for the Catalan giants ahead of such an important fixture.
Kounde’s been out since the international break but is now expected to feature against Los Blancos.
Xavi is still without Andreas Christensen, Hector Bellerin, and Ronald Araujo for the match which means he does have decision to make in defense.
The Barca boss could use Kounde at center-back, alongside Eric Garcia, or may instead put him on the right of the defense to deal with the threat of Vinicius Junior.
