Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has been left out of the France squad for the Nations League finals due to injury.

Kounde has been ruled out with a hamstring injury that has seen him miss the end of Barcelona's domestic season.

He will also sit out international duty with Didier Deschamps's side due to the injury, meaning he'll miss France's semi-final tie with Spain.

The winners of the tie will progress to the final and take on either Germany or Portugal.

Kounde may be disappointed at missing out but his injury does mean he will finally get a break from football over the summer.

The defender has played almost constantly for club and country over the last year or so and hit 100 consecutive games back in April.

Barcelona's right-back now has the chance to take some time out to recover fully and get a break before returning to action with his club side in pre-season.
