"Alejandro Balde presents an injury to the distal biceps femoris of the left thigh. Tests determine that the recovery process will take approximately 4 weeks. It means that the left-back will miss the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United this month, in addition to La Liga fixtures against Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano."
"Balde was not part of the starting lineup against Atletico Madrid last night, with Hansi Flick opting to go with Joao Cancelo as his preferred left-back. However, only ten minutes in, the La Masia graduate was brought on as a substitute after Jules Kounde had to be taken off with an injury. Balde slotted in on his natural position on the left, with Cancelo moving to right-back."
