Barcelona’s defensive injury crisis has come at a bad time with key games against Inter in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga up next week.
Summer signing Jules Kounde is expected to be the first player back and will be a huge boost for Xavi given his versatility and the way he’s started this season.
There are varying reports about Kounde’s availability but it’s looking more likely he may return in El Clasico than against Inter.
Marca reckon Kounde hasn’t been ruled out of the Inter game just yet and Diario Sport say it’ll be difficult but not impossible for the center-back to feature in the Champions League.
