The left-back made a superhuman effort, holding out for ninety minutes after being discharged a few hours earlier. Today he has done specific work, but his presence is not in danger on Tuesday.
Alba finished the game with the injury
Jordi Alba finished the game against Elche stretched out on the ground and touching the back of his right thigh. His effort had been enormous after having been discharged a few hours before and playing the ninety minutes in a somewhat strange position for him, practically right inside, but having to watch in the defensive coverage a Clement Lenglet who suffered the unspeakable when they attacked for his band. In any case, the good news is that Alba will be in the game against Sevilla on Mars . This Sunday he did not jump to the field, doing a specific recovery job with special treatment on the back of the right thigh, where he ended up quite cramped. In fact, when Xavi decided to admit Alejandro Balde in the last minutes, the international went to the band, assuming that he would be relieved. However, finally, Alba continued on the field until the final whistle of the referee.
Barcelona will play against Sevilla
For the game against Sevilla, Xavi recovers another of the important pieces of his slate: the central Gerard Pique, who was out against Elche due to suspension. Sergio Busquets and Gavi deserve special mention, who are one card away from suspension, but who knew how to endure the match against Elche without seeing a yellow card. Who will continue to leave is Sergino Dest due to some discomfort in the adductor. The full-back continues to do recovery work and his return is no longer expected until 2022, and depending on what circumstances, he may no longer dress shorter, as he is one of the firm candidates to leave the club this season.
