Tests carried out on first team player Jules Kounde this morning have shown he has a distal hamstring injury in his left leg. His evolution will determine when he returns to first team activities.
Hero in the Seville final, Kounde had to leave the pitch on Montjuïc after 42 minutes of the thrilling FC Barcelona v Internazionale match. It was his 53rd appearance this season. He has tirelessly raided down the right for Hansi Flick's team this season, with the coach only leaving him out for one game this season, the recent win against Mallorca.
Known for practically being ever-present on the pitch, he has four goals under the German coach, with his most important to date undoubtedly the winner in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid to help win the trophy.
