"First-team player Jules Kounde has suffered a mid-belly hamstring (biceps femoris) injury in his left thigh. His recovery progress will determine his availability. First-team player Alejandro Balde has suffered a distal hamstring (biceps femoris) injury in his left thigh. Examinations indicate that the recovery process will take approximately 4 weeks."
"The news means that Barcelona are set to be without both players for games against Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano in La Liga as well as the Champions League round of 16 tie against Newcastle. Hansi Flick will therefore have to make changes to his backline."
Barcelona confirmed that both Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde suffered hamstring injuries during their 3-0 Copa del Rey victory against Atletico Madrid. Kounde was forced off after just 11 minutes with a mid-belly hamstring injury to his left thigh, while Balde came on as a substitute but also sustained a distal hamstring injury in his left thigh. Medical examinations indicate Balde's recovery will take approximately four weeks. Both players will miss upcoming fixtures against Athletic Club, Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, and the Champions League round of 16 match against Newcastle. Manager Hansi Flick must adjust his defensive lineup, with Joao Cancelo expected to continue starting and Eric Garcia returning after suspension.
