Barcelona struggled to beat Valencia in La Liga last night. However, they lost Jules Kounde to injury, which means that Barcelona will be missing five injured defenders in their next La Liga game. Sergio Roberto, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and Eric Garcia are among the defenders who are currently out.
Eric Garcia was injured in the first half of the game against Valencia and was replaced by Marcos Alonso, while Pique replaced the injured Jules Kounde in the second half.Xavi Hernandez, on the other hand, may not be concerned because he has five defenders who can easily replace the injured players. Hector Bellerin is available to replace the injured Sergi Roberto. While defenders Balde and Jordi Alba are also available for selection next weekend. Barcelona's lack of a center-back could be a major issue, given that Marcos Alonso, who replaced Garcia, is a left-back rather than a center-back. However, he was born to play the position, and he excelled at it.Furthermore, some of Barcelona's injured defenders may recover in time for the FIFA World Cup. The Catalans may play the next two or three games without these defenders, but they will be hopeful of winning.

Huge blow for Barcelona as one new signing wants to leave in January due to lack of playing time
Former AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie is eager to leave Barcelona and may try to leave in January, according to a report.
Last summer, Franck Kessie was one of Barcelona's first signings. Despite this, he failed to make the starting XI in his four months at the club. Furthermore, he is only fifth in Xavi's midfield pecking order, trailing Gavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedri, and Frenkie de Jong.
So far, the Ivorian has only played 418 minutes across all competitions, for an average of 34 minutes per game.According to Calcio Mercato, this prompted the midfielder to consider leaving the club in January. According to the source, Kessie approached several Serie A clubs, including his former club AC Milan.
According to Calciomercato, which cites Spanish media sources, the Ivorian star is sick of being used in Barcelona and wants to leave the country as soon as possible.
He left Milan on a free transfer for Barcelona at the end of last season, but he has had limited involvement since, and the Blaugrana have already been eliminated from the Champions League in the group stages.He was linked with a shock return to Milan at the end of the summer because he had not yet been registered by Barcelona, and there was a clause in his contract that allowed him to break it if he was not registered in the La Liga squad.
