2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kounde logged 32 appearances in La Liga during the 2024/25 season, scoring two goals and adding three assists. He offered defensive reliability and supported the attack from the right-back spot he grew comfortable in, setting a career high in goal contributions. His consistency and fitness made him one of the most used players in the squad with over 2,600 league minutes, to the point where coach Hansi Flick had to force him to rest. Even then, he suffered a hamstring injury late in the campaign. Heading into 2025/26, Kounde remains vital to Barcelona's defensive setup and that was evident when he missed time. When healthy, he'll be a cornerstone in both La Liga and European competition, with the aim to be even more impactful at both ends of the pitch.
Suffers hamstring tear
Kounde (hamstring) suffered a tear during Tuesday's 3-0 victory against Atletico in the Copa del Rey and is set to miss one month of competition, according to Javier Miguel from AS.
ANALYSIS
Kounde was forced off early in Tuesday's win over Atletico in the Copa del Rey after picking up a hamstring tear and the Frenchman is expected to be sidelined for one month to recover. This is a blow for Barcelona since he has been an undisputed starter at right-back and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Joao Cancelo expected to slot in at right-back, though Eric Garcia or Ronald Araujo could also be called upon to fill that role if needed.
