Barcelona's Jules Koundé: No longer banned

Kounde has served his La Liga suspension and is available to play going forward.

Analysis:

Kounde missed the league win over Osasuna after accumulating five yellow cards in the 2025/26 season, with Eric Garcia deployed at right-back to cover his absence. However, the Frenchman will likely bounce back to a starting role in future matchups, allowing Garcia to move back to midfield and pushing either Gavi or Dani Olmo to a bench spot. In any case, Kounde should be reliable for a varied output now that he's an option.
