MADRID (AP) — France and Barcelona defender Jules Koundé has been substituted after apparently hurting his leg during Saturday’s Spanish league match at Valencia. Koundé is expected to play for France in the World Cup in Qatar where it will defend the title. The versatile defender went down late in the second half, touching the back of his left thigh. He says that it seems it is just a muscle strain. France opens its World Cup defense against Australia on Nov. 22.
