Bad news for Barcelona: Key figure expected to be ruled out for up to three weeks after injury blow
With Jordi Alba picking up a problem, they have now suffered a fresh setback as Barcelona becomes blighted by injuries at the start of the new campaign.
The Catalan giants have coped relatively well to this point with the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele absent from playing time this season.
However, coach Ernesto Valverde has another headache it seems as Sport note that Alba is expected to be ruled out for between two or three weeks
After sustaining a hamstring injury in the clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this week, Alba is expected to be ruled out for about three weeks and this is a serious headache for coach Ernesto Valverde and a blow for the La Liga champions given how important he is to the side.
With that in mind, it remains to be seen if summer signing Junior Firpo can now step in and fill that void in the coming weeks while his teammate recovers from his injury setback.
