The days pass, get closer to the Clasico, and become similar. Two days before the clash against Real Madrid (Sunday, 4:15 p.m.), the FC Barcelona training center continues to be empty. This Thursday, the Spanish press announced the absences of Frenkie De Jong and Andres Christensen, both suffering from intestinal problems. The club's medical staff had authorized the Dutchman to return home.
Nothing alarming in the end since the midfielder has fully recovered from his gastroenteritis, indicates Sport. It was then a simple alert to center Joan Gamper… At least for him, since the daily adds that two other executives of the team could miss the Clasico.
Defense and attack amputated
An indisputable holder at his right-back position, Jules Koundé did not show up for today's training, nor for that of the day before. The Iberian media reminds that Barça players must arrive no later than 9:30 a.m., an hour and a half before the start of the session. In which case they are redirected to specific room work. This news therefore worries the Barcelona staff, who are already thinking of finding another alternative to their position.
Other information from Sportthe absence also of Raphinha. The Brazilian also did not participate in training this Friday. 48 hours before kick-off, the striker slowed down his preparation, still suffering from hamstring pain. His tenure was not planned, but his case does not reassure the Blaugranas who consider the player forfeited.
