Nevertheless, in this period, in which it expected that it could consolidate definitively in the elite, did not have the best performance.
The Hispanic-dominican, of so alone 20 years, had a start of campaign quite irregular before the unlucky injury in the sinew of the isquiotibial of the right leg that left it out of action from the past 24 January. During these first months, the Barcelonan had an accionar certainly irregular, where added some suplencia and in which Xavi Hernández opted also for playing with Joãor Cancel to leg changed by this left-handed band, having the egarense that decide between Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo to occupy the right side.
The FC Barcelona does not pose give off of Alejandro Balde
However, it seems that this situation will not keep on a long-term basis, since all indicates that in the next season, Alejandro Balde, once recovered of his injury, will be back like the left side title.
