Although Kounde had appeared in some pre-season games including the friendly against Manchester City on Wednesday, Saturday’s encounter against Valladolid will be, if fielded, his first competitive debut for Barcelona.

Xavi had in the post-match press conference after the 4-2 defeat of Real Sociedad last weekend hinted on how urgent Kounde needs to be registered to help the team in defense.
