Alejandro Balde's injury is much more serious than it initially seemed and the left back is going to have to undergo surgery. The youth player has the femoral biceps tendon in his right leg and may not play again this season

The 'KO' of the FC Barcelona in Glass of the King against the Athletic has not been the only that have suffered this week the culés. Alejandro Balde, that lesionó in the first part of the meeting against the bilbaínos, has something much graver of the expected and will have to go through the operating theatre. The left-handed side has affected the sinew of the biceps femoral of his right leg and will be some four months moved away of the terrains of game.

The FC Barcelona communicated this Saturday the decision on the international by Spain with a message in which it detailed even his surgeon, the same that in his day operated to Ousmane Dembélé or to Ronald Araújo. "The proofs made have showed that the player of the first team Alejandro Balde suffers an injury in the sinew of the isquiotibial of the right thigh. In the next days will subject to surgical treatment to charge of the doctor Lasse Lempainen, under the supervision of the medical services of the Club, in Turku (Finland). When finalising the intervention will facilitate a new splits medical", informed the club.

Unless it occur a miracle, the '3' will lose what subtracts of season with the Barça and will arrive just to play the Eurocopa, if it is that Luis de la Fuente summons him, something easy to believe taking into account that it will arrive without rhythm of competition. For the footballer is an authentic drama, since at last it had gone back to settle in the XI after having lost his place in December, and besides was beginning to resemble his version of the past course.

The options of Xavi without Alejandro Balde

In key Barcelona, the injury of Balde is a big work, since it does not have carrilero left-handed acting in these moments. Marco Alonso also is 'KO', and besides does not explain too much when it is healthy, by what the options of Xavi go through to finish of 'reconvert' to two players that already have played this campaign in this place. Joao Cancel, that besides went during quite a lot of time title here in the Manchester City, and Héctor Fort, that has surrendered very well here in Glass in front of the Barbastro and the Athletic, will occupy the place that leave Alejandro.
