Why was Kounde not among Barcelona’s injured players against Shakhtar?

It’s a common practice for injured Barcelona players to be present at the home venue, watching the team’s games from the stands. However, during the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, it appeared that Jules Kounde was not in attendance. In reality, the Frenchman was present but may have left the stadium earlier than others. Some fans speculate that he may have chosen an aisle seat to facilitate an early departure.

Kounde is currently recovering from an injury he sustained during a collision with Gavi in a match against Granada. While he missed the Shakhtar game, he is expected to return to action next month.
