Barcelona has a lot of problems for the game against Athletic Bilbao, especially in its defense with the suspension of Gerard Piqué. But maybe there's one piece of good news.
According to reports from Catalunya, full-back Jordi Alba, who did not play the two Supercups against Sevilla and Athletic due to a hamstring strain, is set to return this Sunday for Barça's La Liga debut at San Mamés. His recovery process is going faster than expected, he is feeling good and there is a good chance he's cleared to play on the weekend.
