The bad news continues for FC Barcelona as the Clásico against Real Madrid approaches. While the Blaugranas must welcome their great rival this weekend at Spotify Camp Nou, Hansi Flick may have to do without Jules Koundé. Hit in the left ankle, the French international defender has still not returned to team training and his participation in this meeting is now seriously compromised. According to the latest information from SPORTthe former Sevilla FC player will remain away from the group this Friday, just two days before the clash against the Madrilenians. Victim of a sprain, Koundé had already been forced to withdraw from the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. If his return for the Clásico had initially been considered, the evolution of his injury does not seem favorable enough to guarantee his presence. The Barcelona medical staff will therefore have to assess their situation before making a final decision.

This uncertainty represents a new headache for Hansi Flick, already facing several problems in his defensive sector. The German technician must notably deal with the absence of Eric Garcia, victim of a muscular injury to the anterior rectus of the right thigh. The Spanish defender is expected to miss between three and four weeks of competition, thus depriving Barça of an element capable of playing both in the center and on the right side. Particularly valuable versatility in a period where defensive solutions are rare. If Koundé were to withdraw, Flick would be forced to once again review his organization to face José Mourinho’s Real Madrid.
