"FC Barcelona have been handed multiple fresh concerns leading up to Sunday's El Clasico as Jules Kounde and Raphinha's availability for the Real Madrid clash has become uncertain. Both players did not train today with the rest of the squad in a worrying development for Hansi Flick & Co., only 48 hours away from the heavyweight clash at the Santiago Bernabeu. But there is some good news on the horizon as Frenkie de Jong trained normally after recovering from gastroenteritis and is expected to be ready for the trip to Madrid."
"Not only that, but Javi Miguel of AS now reports that another Barcelona star, Andreas Christensen, will also be available at Flick's disposal for the Clasico. The Danish centre-back missed the Olympiacos clash earlier this week due to gastroenteritis and was absent from the team training session on Wednesday and Thursday. However, as per the report, Christensen was back in training with the rest of the group today and will be available for the showdown against Real Madrid."
Jules Kounde and Raphinha did not take part in training and their availability for the Real Madrid clash is uncertain with the match less than 48 hours away. Frenkie de Jong trained normally after recovering from gastroenteritis and is expected to be ready to travel to Madrid. Andreas Christensen returned to full training after missing the Olympiacos game and recent sessions, and he will be available for selection. Kounde missed back-to-back sessions due to a knock but is expected to train on Saturday and could be available; selection decisions may consider alternatives such as Eric Garcia at right-back.
