It had been thought that FC Barcelona full back Jules Kounde could return from his hamstring injury before the season concluded. Now it seems like it's not going to happen though, as he's highly doubtful/basically ruled out for Sunday's visit to Athletic Club. Kounde joins the likes of central defender Ronald Araujo and winger Ferran Torres- players who will be ruled out/not … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News at Athletic Club: Ferran Torres, Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde

FC Barcelona Team News vs Girona: Raphinha, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi
Credit to FC Barcelona for winning a game in which they were short-handed, due to a scheduling snafu.

FC Barcelona Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Rayo Vallecano
Unfortunately for FC Barcelona, Ronald Araujo is injured again, but at least this time it's much less serious.

FC Barcelona Team News vs Brest: Araujo, Fati, Yamal, Torres
With the current fitness situation at FC Barcelona, you kind of have two subcategories of injuries: the guys who will be back before too long, in Ronald Araujo (hamstring), Lamine Yamal (ankle) and Ferran Torres (hamstring). And the second category is, naturally, players who won't be back for a long time, and that list consists of Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal (both … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News vs Brest: Araujo, Fati, Yamal, Torres
