Potentially bad news for Jules Koundé . According to L'Équipe , the French defender for FC Barcelona had to cut short Saturday morning's team training session after experiencing further pain just minutes after it began. Having already missed the previous day's session open to the public at Camp Nou, he could miss Barça's trip to Celta Vigo on Sunday.
In a press conference, Hansi Flick was cautious. "I have doubts about whether he'll be able to make the squad ," admitted the Catalan coach. Koundé has been dealing with this problem since taking a knock to his knee in the Champions League match against Olympiacos on October 21 (6-1). He had already missed two training sessions before the Clasico on October 26. If he is unavailable, Eric Garcia is expected to start on the right side of Barcelona's defense. If the injury is confirmed, the former Bordeaux player could also miss the next French national team camp.
