🚨 Jules Koundé ruled out of France squad, reports RMC

Big blow for Deschamps and Barça.

While there were fears after he left the match against Atlético due to injury, Jules Koundé now knows the nature of his injury.

According to information from RMC Sport, the Barça defender has suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to miss about a month of competition.

This means he is already ruled out for the next French national team gathering, where they are set to face Brazil and Colombia in the United States on March 26 and 29.

This is also a big blow for Barça, who will have to do without their right-back for the Champions League round of 16 matches against Newcastle on March 10 and 18.

Additionally, the Spanish media outlet Sport reports that left-back Alejandro Baldé is expected to miss five to six weeks of competition. Barça’s defensive line is therefore suddenly decimated just as some very important fixtures are approaching.
