FC Barcelona Will Have A ‘New Signing’ For Girona Clash

Xavi has called up defender Jules Kounde for the game against Girona

FC Barcelona will have a ‘new signing’ for their clash against Girona on Saturday. Defender Jules Kounde has been called up by manager Xavi Hernandez for the game after recovering from a thigh injury.

Kounde joined Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer but has been sidelined since September due to the injury. His return will be a major boost for Barcelona, who have been struggling defensively in recent weeks. Barcelona have conceded 13 goals in their last six games in all competitions

Kounde could make his debut against Girona

Kounde could make his debut for Barcelona against Girona if he is fit enough to start. The Frenchman is a versatile defender who can play at centre-back or right-back.

His return will provide Xavi with more options in defense. Barcelona have been playing with a makeshift back four in recent weeks, with midfielders Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong filling in at center-back.

The signing of Kounde is a major coup for Barcelona. The Frenchman is one of the most promising young defenders in Europe and his arrival will help to improve Barcelona's defense.
