Alejandro Baldé will be absent several weeks after being injured in the hamstring of the left thigh during training this week. The Catalan club said that the seriousness of the injury remains rather light, but that its recovery would determine its availability for the next games. The side should miss the meetings against Valence, Newcastle, Getafe and Oviedo, with the aim of coming back just in time to face Real Sociedad and PSG in the Champions League. This injury occurs a few months after another lesion similar to the same leg, and the medical staff wishes to take all the necessary precautions to avoid a relapse.
In the meantime, Hansi Flick will have to count on other options for the left -back post. Gerard Martín seems to be the most credible alternative, while other young players like Jofre Torrents could also see their playing time increasing according to Mundo Deportivo. The club remains cautious with Baldé to preserve its young talent and guarantee that it is operational for the important deadlines of the season, in particular the European beginnings against PSG. This situation could offer an opportunity to other elements of the workforce to enhance oneself.
