So beautiful, the first round of the semi-final between Barça and Inter Milan did damage. The Nerazzurri thus lost Lautaro Martinez, its best offensive asset, hit in the right thigh. If his injury is not very serious, his absence for the return match on Tuesday seems acquired.

On the Barcelona side, it was Jules Koundé who fell to the field of honor, injured in the left thigh. And the verdict is much heavier for the French since it suffers more precisely from a distal injury to the femoral biceps. “The date of its return with the group will depend on its evolution”only said Club Blaugrana.

According to the Catalan press, the former Bordeaux should be on the side for at least three weeks, which could ring his end of the season with Barça if the latter does not qualify for the final of the Champions League, scheduled for May 31.

Jules Koundé “so disappointed”

Jules Koundé did not hide his dismay. “”
So disappointed to hurt me at this stage of the season, where everything is at stake … But sometimes we cannot control everything. “
he wrote on social networks, adding: “I have fully confidence in this team, whatever the opponent on the field. Thank you all for your support, it touches me a lot. »»

And this injury is all the more annoying for the Frenchman as she comes after an incredible series of 104 consecutive games played between November 25, 2023 and April 19. A series that had ended a fortnight ago when his coach Hansi Flick decided to leave him on the bench against Mallorca, four days before the shock against Real Madrid in the King's Cup final.
