Jules Kounde returns to Barcelona training after World Cup break

Kounde back in the fold

FC Barcelona have welcomed back Jules Kounde to training. The French defender trained for the first time following his holiday and his participation in the World Cup, marking an important step as the squad reconvenes ahead of the new campaign.

Kounde's return adds much-needed defensive depth and experience to Hansi Flick's back line as Barça continue their pre-season preparations.
