Barcelona has officially announced that their talented left-back, Alejandro Balde, has sustained an injury to his right hamstring. The incident occurred during Barcelona's narrow 1-0 victory over Leganés in a La Liga fixture.
Balde, who has been a key figure in Barcelona's defensive lineup this season, was forced to leave the field in the 41st minute of the match. The injury happened as Balde tracked back to thwart a counterattack by Leganés. While there was no visible twist or collision, the young defender appeared to experience discomfort in his hamstring, prompting his substitution. Gerard Martin replaced him just before halftime.
The club has confirmed that medical tests conducted on Sunday morning revealed a distal injury to Balde's right hamstring. However, Barcelona has not provided a specific timeline for his recovery, stating that his return will depend on the progress of his rehabilitation.
This injury comes at a critical juncture for Barcelona, as they are competing on multiple fronts, including the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid and the UEFA Champions League semi-finals later this month. Balde's absence could pose a significant challenge for the team, given his exceptional performances this season.
Barcelona fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a swift recovery for the 21-year-old, who has established himself as one of the most promising left-backs in European football.
