Alejandro Balde reportedly expects to miss the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid and thinks he’ll be out for at least three weeks for Barcelona.
The left-back has been ruled out with a hamstring problem sustained against Leganes, although Barcelona have not confirmed yet how much time he will miss.
However, ‘sources close to the player’ say he is facing at least three weeks out and won’t be ready for the Clasico final, according to Què T’hi Jugues.
Losing Balde for the final would be a big miss and likely means that Gerard Martin will take his place for the crunch game.
