BARCELONA, SPAIN - APRIL 08: Jules Kounde of FC Barcelona looks on during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Quarter-Final First Leg match between FC Barcelona and Club Atlético de Madrid at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on April 08, 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. (Photo by Eric Alonso/Getty Images) | Getty Images Barcelona will have to cope without Jules Kounde next time out against Osasuna as the Frenchman will miss out due to suspension. Kounde picked up his fifth booking of the season on Saturday against Getafe which results in an automatic one-match ban. The Frenchman will therefore sit out Barca’s next game but will be available for the following match which is the Clasico against Real Madrid at Camp Nou. Hansi Flick will therefore have to make changes to his backline but will have Eric Garcia available after he missed the Getafe win due to suspension. Ronald Araujo is another option at right-back for the German coach for the game at El Sadar on Saturday night in La Liga. Barcelona will head into that game 11 points clear and aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table even further. Real Madrid play a day later when they take on at the RCDE Stadium.
