Barcelona fans can breathe a sigh of relief after the latest update regarding Alejandro Balde’s injury scare, as according to AS, the young left-back, who had fans worried during the match against Las Palmas, will be available for the upcoming game against Mallorca.
Balde had a worrying collision with Sandro Ramirez, which left him in distress on the pitch. The impact caused a blow to his glottis, leading to difficulty breathing and dizziness, which understandably raised concern among the players and supporters.
However, the swift response of the Barcelona medical team helped calm the situation, and once Balde was taken to the locker room, he was reported to be in a stable condition.
Balde’s message after the incident
The news came as a major relief, especially considering the long list of injuries that Barcelona have been dealing with in recent weeks. These injuries have significantly affected the team’s performance on the pitch, making Balde’s recovery all the more crucial.

After the match, Balde reassured fans by posting a positive update on social media. He wrote that it was just a scare and that he was feeling fine, thanking everyone for their support.
This update is especially timely for Barcelona, who are preparing for their demanding trip to Mallorca. In addition to Balde’s recovery, another player, Eric Garcia, is also expected to return to action.
Garcia, who was called up for the first time since his injury against Sevilla on October 20, may be given some playing time if needed. However, one player certain to feature in the starting lineup is Marc Casado.
The midfielder has become a key figure under manager Flick, and his return to the lineup will be an important boost for the team.
Overall, with Balde’s quick recovery and the return of other key players, Barcelona will be looking to bounce back and strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead, hoping to improve their recent form and push for a successful season.
