The Barcelona defender, Jules Kounde, suffered a confirmed injury of the rope during the semifinal of the Champions League on Wednesday night against Inter.
Kounde has developed a reputation for its indisputable availability this season, playing 53 times for Barcelona and eight for France. The decline had not lost a single equipment for the club or country until it was resting on the victory of the league last weekend on Mallorca.
But only 42 minutes to the 3-3 draw with InterWhich leaves the Catalans a slight disadvantage before the return of next week in Milan, Kounde was forced. He then told journalists in the mixed zone: “I don’t feel good.”
A statement from Barcelona explained on Thursday that the tests performed before the day had revealed a “distal injury” on the left leg. The club did not offer a deadline for its probable recovery, but early reports have suggested that it could be lost about three weeks, most of the rest of the season.
In this scenario, Kounde would probably be governed of five parties, including the second section against Inter next Tuesday and a Crunch Classico with Real Madrid five days later.
Barcelona Keep a four -point lead in the league, but Casico de House is the last great opportunity in Madrid to cut the deficit to a point and, therefore, only a single game. But if the victory of Hansi Flick, the title race would be mathematically in favor of Barça.
Kounde could only return for the last game of the domestic season, against the Athletic Club of San Mames on May 25. If the Barcelona had reached the final of the Champions League, it would also be suitable for this at Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31.
In the absence of Kounde, Eric Garcia completed the first section against Inter to the right. It was favored by Ronald Araujo, who reached half the time instead of the fighter Gerard Martin. The homemade teenager Hector Fort is another option, but mostly unprofit.
Alejandro Balde did not pass his fitness test to submit —s against Inter But it is expected to return imminently, which will at least strengthen the left side of the four rear.
