Koundé stays out of Barça’s squad again

BARCELONA, 21 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

FC Barcelona has announced this Saturday the call for the Barça team’s second game in LaLiga 2022/23 against Real Sociedad, with the main absence of French defender Jules Koundé as he is not registered in the competition.

Xavi Hernández explained at the press conference prior to the match that the club would wait until Saturday to give the list in the hope of being able to register their brand new signing. However, Koundé will have to wait another week to have the opportunity to play his first minutes in official competition.

Nor will the side Sergiño Dest, who was no longer part of the first ‘culé’ call, the previous day, in his league debut against Rayo Vallecano. On the other hand, attackers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay will be there, both with options to leave Barça in the next few days.


Ter Stegen, Pique, R. Araujo, O. Dembele, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran, Memphis, Christensen, Pjanic, Aubameyang, Jordi Alba, Kessie, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Raphinha, Eric, Iñaki Rock, Bucket, Gavi, Paul Tower and Arnau Tenas.
