Pessimism in Barcelona with Jordi Alba: possible break in the hamstrings of the right leg

Jordi Alba retired in the 74th minute field of play after noticing a prick in the back of the right thigh in his attempt to reach a ball, overstretching his leg and landing incorrectly. The player quickly noticed that he had been injured, as he stretched out on the field and asked for the change, having to activate Sergiño Dest so that it would jump to the field to occupy the left band.

After the first examination in the dressing room, carried out by the doctor Xavi Yanguas, it spread a little pessimism as a possible tear in the biceps femoris of the right leg was suspected. If confirmed, we would be talking in the best of cases between two to three weeks off.

In any case, it won't be until this Monday when they carry out the relevant tests the player to know the exact extent of the injury.

It must be remembered that now there is a stoppage in the calendar due to the commitments of the national teams, so LaLiga will not restart until October 17. This situation would give the winger a margin of time to recover in the case of a mini-break, especially considering that his replacement, Junior firpo, is also currently injured, although he is expected to return to training in the next few days.

Right now, the priority is that Alba can be recovered on October 24 for the Classic and four days later at the appointment against Juventus of the Champions.
