Luis Enrique and Jordi Alba have something of a complicated relationship but the Spain boss has been full of praise for the Barcelona left-back.
Alba’s been in good form this season for his club side which has seen him handed a recall to the national team by Lucho.
The Barcelona defender has continued in the same vein and picked up two assists in Spain’s 2-1 win over Georgia at the weekend.
Luis Enrique spoke about Alba ahead of La Roja’s World Cup qualifying clash against Kosovo on Wednesday in Seville.
