Barcelona have confirmed that Jordi Alba suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday’s Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou.
The left-back was a doubt before the match, and didn’t take part in the morning’s activation session, but still started the game against the Bundesliga champions.
However, Alba asked to be taken off late off and was replaced by Alex Balde for the last 15 minutes of the clash.
Barca confirmed afterwards that Alba has a hamstring problem and needs further tests to determine the severity of the injury.
Ronald Koeman’s side don’t play again until Granada visit the Camp Nou on Monday but it looks like Alba will be a doubt for that game which is likely to be good news for Balde.
