after being stretchered off against Las Palmas on Saturday

Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde has confirmed he is feeling fine .

Balde was taken off in the first half after a heavy clash with Sandro Ramirez. The left-back looked in real discomfort afterwards and appeared to be struggling to breathe.

The Barcelona defender has now taken to social media to confirm all is well and that he is fully recovered.

He posted on Instagram: “It was just a scare. I’m fine! Thank you all.”

The news is a big relief after some worrying scenes when Balde went down at Montjuic and hopefully the defender will be able to return against Real Mallorca on Tuesday.
