Overview

• Jules Koundé sustained a distal biceps femoris lesion in his left thigh during Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final first leg on April 30.
• Barcelona has officially ruled Koundé out of the May 6 return leg in Milan, a critical match for their Champions League aspirations.
• Spanish media reports suggest Koundé could face a multi-week absence, making his participation in the May 11 Clasico against Real Madrid highly uncertain.
• Koundé has been a key player this season with over 50 appearances, and his injury adds to Barcelona's growing list of absentees, including Lewandowski and Balde.
• This setback comes at a pivotal point in Barcelona's season as they contend for both the Champions League and La Liga titles.
