Koundé Bench Woes Continue Under Zidane

Published October 2, 2026 · Updated October 2, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

French defender Jules Koundé remains on the bench under Zinedine Zidane, continuing his lack of playing time that began under Hansi Flick at Barcelona.

Barcelona right-back Jules Koundé continues to be overlooked by coaches, having been benched for six of Barcelona's seven league matches this season. After entering at 29 minutes against Valencia following Eric Garcia's injury, he hasn't seen any playing time in the last three matches.

The situation with the French national team mirrors his Barcelona struggles, as Koundé finds himself in a similar position to his time under previous coach Hansi Flick. raccoongame.org
