Barcelona defender Jordi Alba out for a least a month - report

Barcelona may have to cope without left-back Jordi Alba for a little while if the latest reports turn out to be true.

The Spaniard was forced off against Slavia Prague on Tuesday with a recurrence of a hamstring injury that seems set to sideline him for a spell.

Sport report that Alba will be out for at least a month as Barcelona are unwilling to risk him, will not rush him back and will give him plenty of time to recover fully.

Mundo Deportivo have a similar story on the Barcelona full-back.
