Jules Kounde looks set to miss Saturday’s La Liga match
against Alaves as he continues to struggle with a sprained ankle.The French defender was absent from training again on Thursday, meaning there’s little chance of him playing in Barcelona’s next game.
With Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and Xavi Espart also sidelined, Hansi Flick is short of options defensively and so has taken the chance to call up another youngster to training.
Barcelona Atletic right-back Guillem Victor joined the team for
Thursday’s session, giving Flick the chance to see the youngster up close before Saturday’s game, per Sport.
Alex Campos was also training with Barcelona again ahead of Saturday’s match and also has a chance of making the squad this weekend.
Barcelona head into the game aiming to bounce back from defeat to Real Madrid last time out. Alaves currently sit seventh in the table but are on a run of six games without a win.
