From the source
Barcelona could welcome Jules Kounde back for their La Liga meeting with Alaves on October 31, with the French defender reportedly expected to be available after missing El Clasico against Real Madrid.
According to Nil Sola, the right-back is moving towards a return as Hansi Flick looks for solutions to Barcelona’s growing defensive injury problems. Kounde missed Barcelona’s Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain and the subsequent El Clasico after suffering a sprain to his left ankle.
His availability for the clash against Real Madrid had depended on his recovery, but he ultimately failed to regain fitness in time. The French international now has an opportunity to make progress before Barcelona face Alaves this weekend.
