Out against PSG with ankle sprain

Kounde (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain after suffering a left ankle sprain during Saturday's 5-2 victory over Real Betis, according to the club.

Analysis: Kounde completed the full 90 minutes against Real Betis, providing an assist for Lamine Yamal while recording two tackles, one won. However, the French defender experienced discomfort following the match and was subsequently spotted limping upon Barcelona's return. Medical examinations confirmed a left ankle sprain, ruling him out of Tuesday's Champions League encounter against PSG. His availability for Sunday's Clasico against Real Madrid will depend on his recovery over the coming days. Having primarily occupied a reserve role this season, Kounde's absence further reduces Barcelona's defensive depth, particularly with Eric Garcia also sidelined for three to four weeks. Joao Cancelo could consequently see additional opportunities at right-back.

Doubtful for PSG clash

Kounde (undisclosed) was spotted limping noticeably upon Barcelona's return Sunday after picking up a knock during Saturday's 5-2 victory over Real Betis, according to El Chiringuito TV.

Analysis: Kounde completed the full 90 minutes against Real Betis, providing an assist for Lamine Yamal while recording two tackles, one won. However, the French defender reportedly experienced discomfort following the match and was subsequently seen limping. The defender will undergo medical examinations to determine his availability for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin are also dealing with physical issues, potentially limiting Barcelona's defensive options. Kounde has primarily occupied a reserve role this season, although his potential absence would further reduce the team's defensive depth ahead of the European encounter.
