Jules Kounde has handed Barcelona a fitness boost by training with the first team on Thursday ahead of the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid.
The defender has been out since picking up an injury while on international duty with France but is close to a comeback.

Diario AS are reporting that Kounde could even start at the Santiago Bernabeu and is likely to come in for Gerard Pique in the heart of the defense.
