Alejandro Balde’s season hit a rough patch as the Barcelona star faces three weeks out with a muscle injury sustained against Leganes, per Diario AS.
The young left-back, pivotal to the team’s rhythm, felt discomfort in his biceps femoris, requiring nearly a month to heal.
This setback stings for Balde, who debuted for Barcelona’s first team on 14 September 2021, subbing for Jordi Alba in a 3–0 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.
His breakout moment came on 14 May 2023, netting his first goal for the club in a 4–2 victory over Espanyol, clinching the La Liga title. This season, he’s been a force, racking up 28 appearances and four assists in La Liga.
Sources say the entire Barcelona dressing room are feeling really bad about Balde’s injury as this comes in a crucial time of the season.
The squad now braces for a tough stretch without their dynamic defender, hoping he returns stronger to ignite their campaign.
