"Jules Kounde is suffering from an injury in the middle third of the left thigh's biceps femoris. His recovery will determine his availability. However, with less than ten minutes on the clock, the French international suffered some discomfort in the back of his thigh. Following medical attention, it was decided to take him off the pitch."
"Even though the initial hope was that Kounde's injury was not as serious as Balde's, he has a tear in his hamstring and could be sidelined for close to a month. It would mean that the first-choice right-back will miss the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United, along with a few La Liga matches versus Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano."
FC Barcelona confirmed that Jules Kounde sustained a biceps femoris injury in his left thigh during the match against Atletico Madrid. The injury occurred within the first ten minutes, forcing his substitution. While Barcelona's official statement did not specify a recovery timeline, reports indicate Kounde has a hamstring tear potentially sidelining him for close to a month. This absence would cause him to miss the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United and several La Liga matches. Kounde had featured in nearly all of Barcelona's matches this season prior to the injury.
