"Barcelona" defender J. Alba may not play for 1-2 weeks © EuroFootball.com

Jordi Alba may have to rest for a couple of weeks from football. The "Barcelona" defender, who represents the Spanish national team, suffered an injury in the World Cup qualifier match against Finland. J. Alba played the full 90 minutes on the field, but ended the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Finland, troubled by leg pain. According to initial data, medics found a small muscle tear in the footballer's right thigh. J. Alba was allowed to leave the national Spanish team camp, so it is already clear that the defender will not appear on the field in the upcoming World Cup qualifier match against France next week. It is estimated that due to this injury, the Catalan will most likely miss matches for 10 to 15 days. The exact duration of the rehabilitation should be clarified after the defender's leg is examined by "Barcelona" doctors. If the muscle healing process is delayed, it is not ruled out that J. Alba may have to miss the first Champions League quarter-final match in Paris against "Paris Saint-Germain."
