Barcelona now has another injury problem as if the fact that they were behind Granada by two goals wasn’t awful enough.

Jules Kounde, a crucial defender who has been a constant in the backline this season, was indeed substituted in the first half due to what appeared to be a knee injury.

At Los Carmenes, Kounde began the game in defense with Andreas Christensen. It appeared that Kounde injured his knee shortly before the 40-minute mark following a contact with a teammate.

Soon later, the Frenchman was observed to be in discomfort and requested medical assistance. Kounde attempted to go on, but he was unable, and in the end, he had to make room for Ronald Araujo.

Barcelona is quite concerned about this, especially considering that crucial matches against teams like Athletic Club, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Real Madrid are scheduled for after the international break.

According to Adria Albets, preliminary tests indicate that Kounde may have just suffered a moderate sprain of his left knee, but nothing can be confirmed until he returns to Barcelona tomorrow and has additional testing.

After the international break, the Blaugrana will be hoping that it’s nothing major and that the Frenchman can get back on the field quickly.
