FC Barcelona has recently received some positive news on the injury front, a welcome change for the team. Despite the looming threat of the 'FIFA Virus' during the international break, the club has managed to avoid any major setbacks.
While their La Liga title hopes may be fading as they trail Real Madrid by eight points, Barcelona has secured a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals after two consecutive seasons of disappointment. They are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the next round.
Unfortunately, young talent Gavi is still recovering from a knee injury and is not expected to return to action until next season. However, there is hope that key players Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will be fit to play against PSG, despite recent knocks they picked up in a match against Athletic Club.
The team cannot afford any more injuries leading up to the crucial Champions League clash. Fans breathed a sigh of relief when it was revealed that Jules Kounde's injury was not as serious as initially feared, with the player only suffering a heavy blow that required ice treatment.
Kounde's availability for France's upcoming match against Chile and his condition for Barcelona's next game against Las Palmas remain uncertain. The team will be eagerly awaiting updates on his status as they prepare for these important fixtures.
