Jordi Alba ended the game against Dynamo Kiev 'touched' and it is a serious doubt for Sunday's Clásico against Real Madrid. The winger would have a sprained ankle and it would be difficult to get to the duel
Jordi Alba gave the fright against the Dynamo of Kiev and was about to to leave lesionado after a bad gesture in the ankle when receiving a balonazo with the foot in the air. The left-handed side was limping several minutes and seemed to ask the change, but at the end decided to continue and finished the meeting without important annoyances. However, after the duel he same recognised in the microphone of 'Movistar' that was 'touched'. "Something have, but do not know the what", said the Catalan when finishing.
This Thursday, the Barça has done him the first explorations and as it aims in the newspaper 'SPORT' are quite negative of face to his participation in the Classical against the Real Madrid. It seems that the carrilero has a sprain in his right ankle and that it is serious doubt for the crash of the Camp Nou. A setback tremendo for Ronald Koeman, that could have to look for alternatives for the Sunday.
The one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat would be working from this Thursday to try be against the madridistas, but goes to time trial. The meeting is inside three days and is complicated that it can be 100% healthy for then if for real it has a sprain. In case that it do not arrive to time, the trainer barcelonista probably 'will throw' of Alejandro Balde or of Sergiño Dest to play in the left.
The one of the canterano of 18 years is the most reasonable option, since it would allow not having to touch at all more than the diagram of the Barça. Nevertheless, the Barcelonan side grieve has played little more than 50 minutes with the Barcelona and never has been headline in a so big crash like the Classical. However, it fits to say that in the chamber of hour that contested in front of the Bayern of Munich in Champions League left very good feelings.
Koeman Could change of system if it does not put to Balde
The alternative in case of not wanting to bet by Balde would be to plant to Dest of left side and to Sergi Roberto or Mingueza in the right. This, this yes, would do that Koeman had to put another right extreme, since the American has played in this place the two last parties. Taking into account that there is not any pure player of right band in the plantel right now, an option could be go out with a 4-3-1-2 without pure extremes. Philippe Coutinho would be in the mediapunta and Memphis Depay and Ansu Fati would be the forwards.
