Bad news for Barcelona: Olmo's injury more serious than expected
Barcelona face a new injury setback as Alejandro Balde adds to the club's lengthy absentee list
Barcelona have suffered another injury blow in their squad after it was confirmed that Alejandro Balde will be out for four to six weeks.
The news comes as a huge blow to Barcelona, who are already without a number of key players due to injury, including Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Busquets, Pedri and Ansu Fati.
Balde has been one of Barcelona's most impressive performers this season, and his absence will be a big miss for the team.
Balde's injury is a serious setback for Barcelona
Confirming the news, Barcelona said in a statement on their website:
"Tests carried out on first-team player Alejandro Balde on Monday have confirmed that he has a hamstring injury in his left leg. He is expected to be out for four to six weeks."
This is a very serious injury for Balde, and it is going to be a big challenge for Barcelona to cope without him in the coming weeks.
Barcelona to announce how they plan to adjust
Barcelona must now decide how they are going to adjust to Balde's absence.
The most likely solution is that Jordi Alba will be moved to left-back, with Marcos Alonso playing on the right.
However, this could leave Barcelona short of options in central defense, as Alba is not a natural center-back.
