Barcelona defender Kounde plays down injury fears after victory over Valencia

Barcelona defender Jules Kounde played down injury fears after victory at Valencia.

Kounde went off injured against Valencia but he told DAZN that it was nothing serious.

"I'm doing fine, it doesn't seem like anything serious, it's an overload," Kounde said.

"We're on a crazy path with so many games, every three days, but we have to look after ourselves. I think there are too many games, but we are not in charge."

Analysing Barca's 1-0 win, he added: "It was very difficult. Valencia were very good. They were aggressive and pressed to try and take the ball off us and block our passes. It was importanat to win. Doing it here is always hard but the team deserved it."
