More trouble for Ronald Koeman. To the already certain casualties of Pedri and Araújo, who do not arrive for the Classic this Sunday, the serious doubt of Jordi Alba has now joined, who could have very complicated his contest this Sunday against Real Madrid due to an injury in The right foot. And, according to ‘Sport’, the player underwent tests this morning to assess the extent of his pain, verifying that he suffers a sprain in the instep, so that today his presence for the Classic seems very complicated.
“I do not know what I have, but there is something …”, in this way so conclusively expressed Alba as soon as the game ended on the cameras of Movistar Plus. Finally, that unknown has been cleared, confirming the injury of the Spanish international.
In fact, As AS has learned, the club is evaluating the infiltration of the right foot as the only solution so that Alba can play this Sunday. The final evaluation will be done on the same Saturday. If it is decided to infiltrate it, it will be done in the middle of the afternoon of that day, since the effects of a cortisone infiltration last about 24 hours.
What is clear is that Alba’s presence is considered vital on the left wing and even more so in a high-profile game such as Sunday’s, so the option of infiltration is winning in full, both in medical services and in the technicians and the player himself.
To this day, there is only one player that Koeman recovers to play against Real Madrid compared to the game against Dinamo: center back Eric Garcia, who served his penalty game on Wednesday.
It remains to be seen whether or not Ousmane Dembélé finally arrives, although in any case if he is finally discharged, his participation would be very testimonial, not being able to play for more than ten or fifteen minutes at the most. Nor would Kun Agüero start in the starting eleven: they have to add more minutes and accumulate competition rhythm, after having spent almost two and a half months off the pitch.
