Relief for Barcelona: Balde to be available for Athletic clash

Barcelona's victory over Valencia was not complete because of an injury that finally turned out to be a scare. It was Alejandro Balde, who had to leave early due to physical problems.

The continuous injuries that the academy player has suffered in recent months have led to fears of the worst. However, according to AS, it turned out to be just a simple knock. The change was purely precautionary.

In the first half, Balde had a blow with Thierry Correia, which caused him pain in the back of his thigh. Despite the pain, he continued to play until the 60th minute when he was replaced.

It was precisely at that moment that the worst was feared, another injury to a player who had been unable to perform due to a lack of continuity. Flick didn't think twice and changed him.

In the end, it was just a scare, a simple knock that will not prevent him from playing in Barcelona's next game, at home against Nico Williams' Athletic Club.
