Koundé, very difficult for the Clásico
Summarised by MatchPal
Koundé suffered a left ankle sprain against Betis on Saturday and is doubtful for Sunday's Clásico against Real Madrid.
Jules Koundé sustained a severe left ankle sprain during Barcelona's match against Betis last Saturday. Medical tests on Sunday confirmed the injury, ruling him out of the PSG game midweek. The Barcelona staff view his participation in next Sunday's Clásico as highly unlikely due to significant pain and limping, though they hope to have him available on the bench as a last resort. An infiltration could reduce pain temporarily but risks aggravating the ligament damage.
