Barcelona HubThe Barcelona suffers another setback with the injury of Alejandro Balde. The left-back was injured during Wednesday's training session at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper.
What happened?
Alejandro Balde has suffered a minor injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg during today's training session. His evolution will determine his availability.
The Barcelona had already lost Gavi to injury. Now, with Balde's injury, the Catalan team is left without its starting left-back.
Why is it important?
The injury of Balde is a blow to the Barcelona, which already left for the break with bad feelings after its draw in Vallecas. The blaugrana team has important commitments in the Champions League and Balde's injury could be a problem.
What's next?
Balde will be out for almost until the end of September or October. Last season, in the final stretch of the campaign, the blaugrana left-back was already injured and missed seven games.
| Player | Injury | Time out |
|---|---|---|
| Alejandro Balde | Injury to the biceps femoris | 3 weeks |
The Barcelona is confident that Gerard Martín can cover Balde's absence. The azulgrana youth player has managed to be registered in the League in the last days of the market and already played as a left-back in the last games of last season.
