Franck Kessie joins Barcelona's injured ranks in fitness crisis

The Ivorian midfielder will be out as Barca's squad gets thinner still

Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie is out injured too, leaving the club with even less depth for the upcoming games.

The Ivorian midfielder came on in the second half against Inter Milan but finished the game with a thigh strain.

“The first team player Franck Kessie has a strained adductor muscle in his right thigh. He is ruled out and his recovery will dictate his return,” said the club.

Barcelona are missing seven players now - Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, Hector Bellerin, Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay and Andreas Christensen, who suffered a twisted ankle against Inter Milan.
