Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has been named in Xavi’s squad for Sunday’s showdown with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu after recovering from injury.
The 23-year-old has not played for Barca since their 3-0 win over Elche on September 17 after sustaining a thigh blow while on international duty with France.
Barca did not give a timeline for Kounde’s comeback, but head coach Xavi indicated earlier this week the centre-back had a chance of featuring against Madrid.
The former Sevilla man was involved in training at Ciutat Esportiva on Thursday, before being named in the squad for a mouth-watering clash against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
