The tactician made sure not to force Coutinho to appear if he was not physically fit. In addition, Die Rotten always has Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso in the best condition.

"Every player must be 100%, because we need a player who is fresh and physically motivated, I will immediately talk to him, because if he is not ready, we still have Coman and Coco (Tolisso)," he said. he stressed.

So far, Coutinho has only been revealed twice by Kovac since arriving in Barcelona. Of these two opportunities, players don't even play full time.
