Barcelona coach Koeman: Why I want to keep great Coutinho

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman says he’ll be counting on Philippe Coutinho this season.

There’s been talk of Coutinho being offered to Premier League clubs this summer.

However, Koeman insists: “Philippe is not there because I think he needs another week to train with the group.

“I’m counting on him because I think he’s a great player. He can be important for Barcelona. I’m really counting on him this season.

“Coutinho can play in different positions. We lost a lot of goals with (Lionel) Messi leaving and we have to get them from others. Philippe is one of them.”
