Barcelona have on Thursday announced a setback on the personnel front in the club’s first-team ranks.
This comes amid confirmation of an injury suffered by Jules Koundé.
Defender Koundé was for his part in from the off on Wednesday night, as Barcelona locked horns with Inter Milan in the first leg of a Champions League semi-final tie.
En route to a thrilling 3-3 draw, however, the Frenchman was forced into a premature departure from proceedings.
Late in the first-half, Koundé went to ground clutching the back of his left leg, before quickly being withdrawn by boss Hansi Flick.
