Barcelona are set to be without both Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo from their defence for their match against Inter at San Siro, according to a report in the Italian print media today.

As has been reported by Tuttosport, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is becoming a victim of the international break as many of his players are picking up injuries whilst playing for their national teams.

After the clash on Saturday with AS Roma, Inter will be welcoming the Spanish side to San Siro for their third Champions League group game.

French defender Jules Kounde is now out for a month with a hamstring injury and Ronald Araujo may be out for two months with a thigh injury.

Frenkie de Jong will be analysed but should be fit, whilst Memphis Depay has got a muscle strain that must be nurtured and Ousmane Dembele will also be assessed ahead of the match.
