The Barcelona player Jordi Alba will be off, without a certain recovery time, because of an injury to the left femoral biceps that occurred during the match against Borussia Dortmund (0-0) in Germany, at the start of the Champions group stage.
"The tests carried out on the player of the first team Jordi Alba have confirmed that he suffers a muscular injury in the biceps femoris of the left thigh. The player is low and the evolution will mark his availability," the club said in a statement.
The Spanish side retired in the 40th minute, replaced by Sergi Roberto , after noticing some discomfort in an action in which he tried to center a ball. He was treated in the band and tried to return, but finally asked for the change.
Starting at the premiere of FC Barcelona in the Champions League, Alba has played the first four games of LaLiga Santander and has scored a goal, in the Blaugrana triumph over Real Betis 5-2 at Camp Nou.
The injury of Jordi Alba, whose recovery will mark his return to the team, opens the door to one of the signings of the summer, the Spanish lane Junior Firpo , who did not enter the call for Dortmund. Another option would be to place Semedo with a changed leg and Sergi Roberto on the right side.
