Official: Barcelona statement on Alejandro Balde’s injury | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Sunday provided an update on the wellbeing of defensive star Alejandro Balde.

This comes, for those who may have missed it, after the left-back set alarm bells sounding across the Barcelona fanbase last night.

Afforded a start in the Blaugrana’s La Liga meeting with Leganés, Balde lasted less than 45 minutes, before being forced to limp off.

This came owing to what appeared to be a muscular issue.

Amid such a crucial stretch of the campaign for their side, all of a Barca persuasion, in turn, will no doubt be interested to hear of an update on Balde’s situation on Sunday coming to the fore online.

As per a statement across the Catalans’ website and social media platforms:

‘Tests carried out on Sunday morning on the first team player Alejandro Balde confirm that he has a distal injury to his left hamstring. His return to action with the first team will depend on his recovery.’

It now remains to be seen just how long the 21-year-old is unavailable for selection.
