The Frenchman was not seen coaching along with his fellow teammates at Ciutat Esportiva at the moment and it seems he gained’t be capable to return to full health.
Kounde was already going through a race in opposition to time to be match for the Actual Madrid conflict however regardless of seven day cooling interval, the defender has been unable to make it in time.
Kounde’s absence leaves Hansi Flick with restricted choices in defence. Fortuitously for the German tactician, e after an harm scare throughout midweek’s defeat to PSG, the place he had picked up a knock.
Espart is prone to be partnered by Joao Cancelo, Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martin within the Barcelona backline.

Since Kounde is now not an choice for Barcelona in opposition to Actual Madrid this weekend, the defender has already shifted his focus to getting match earlier than the membership’s subsequent match.
Fortuitously for Barça, they don’t should play one other Champions League recreation in midweek, giving Kounde further time to get well.
The French worldwide shall be seeking to utilise that point to get again to full health, simply in time for Barcelona’s subsequent recreation in opposition to Alaves on October 31.
That’s at present the target for the previous Sevilla right-back, who shall be seeking to utilise accidents to Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia to as soon as once more reclaim his place within the beginning eleven.
