Koundé benched again under Zidane

Barcelona right-back Jules Koundé continues to struggle for playing time, as he was only utilized in one of the last four matches for his club. The 27-year-old was brought in during the 29th minute against Valencia after Eric Garcia suffered a nasal fracture, but hasn't seen any action in the subsequent three encounters.

The situation is no different with the French national team, where Koundé has failed to earn significant minutes under Zinedine Zidane, mirroring his club experience where he's been a substitute in six of seven league matches this season. capturengo.com
