"We have two more injuries and I'm not happy about it. We need to talk. Because with Frenkie, we have three injured players. We need to talk to the medical team, to the staff, to prevent three players from getting injured in one week."
"Barcelona don't expect either player to feature in the coming weeks, meaning they will miss games against Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano in La Liga as well as the Champions League round of 16 tie against Newcastle."
Barcelona suffered two significant defensive injuries during their 3-0 victory over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. Both Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde were forced to leave the match and will undergo further testing. The club expects both players to remain sidelined for several weeks, causing them to miss upcoming fixtures against Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, as well as the Champions League round of 16 match against Newcastle. Manager Hansi Flick expressed frustration with the injury situation, noting that with Frenkie de Jong also injured, three players have been lost in one week. Barcelona returns to action on Saturday against Athletic Club.
