New 'blow' for Xavi's Barça: Jordi Alba will be out until 2022

To the FC Barcelona do not are missing him the problems, of this there are not doubts. The Barcelona picture fell defeated this Wednesday in front of the Bayern Munich in the Allianz Sand (3-0) in a disappointing party of the ones of Xavi Hernández, the one who aimed that the team did not compete against the muniqueses. Reason did not be him. In addition to the negative performance of the culés, it is necessary to add the new 'hits' to the team in what to injuries respecta, a 'bad' that seems not finishing for the Barça.

The alarms lit for the medical services blaugrana when the clock brushed the half hour of party in the Allianz Sand. Jordi Alba asked the change and confirmed the worst presagios: it was not smart to play. In the previous, already had commented that the one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat had annoyances and that, if it played, was forcing. Like this it was, precisely and the history has been still worse. 'It broke' after a bad clear and now says him "goodbye" to the Barcelona dynamics until 2022.

'SPORT' Has stood out that, although it still does not know the real scope of the injury, Jordi Alba will not play with the Barcelona in this 2021. The medical services, beside the trainer Xavi Hernández, have decided that the left side will not force more, to avoid that the 'catastrophe' was still worse. Like this then , it will not go in in the announcement of the next four parties, the last of this year: in front of the Osasuna, Elche and Seville, by LaLiga Santander, in addition to the friendly against the Mouth Juniors in homage to Diego Armando Maradona.

From the medical services understand that if Alba follows forcing, the consequences can be worse, so much for the player (that it already had been lesionado in this course), as for the club. Of this way, if all goes out like the planned, the footballer will be available at the beginning of 2022, when they also would be to 100% AAnsu Fati or Pedri, two of which are also pillars of the Barça.

Opportunity for Balde?

They are not many the options that has Xavi Hernández to resolve when there are injuries. The staff is very short and Jordi Alba is the only left side natural that has the Barça in the first team. It is the option that Òscar Mingueza or Sergiño Dest play in this position, but after the 'disaster' of the canterano against the Bayern is little likely that have a new opportunity to play by the band.

The international with United States, by his part, neither answers. Against the picture muniqués was a despropósito, to the equal that the weekend in front of the Betis. And this that played by the right (in the side or like extreme). Like this then , it opens the door again to the titularity of Alejandro Balde that only has played 417 minutes, delivered in nine parties. The canterano has been 'victim' of injuries and setbacks, but aims to be smart to substitute to Jordi Alba.
