Alejandro Balde will be back from injury for the second leg of the Champions League semifinal tie between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
This according to Spanish outlet AS, via FCInter1908. They also report that Robert Lewandowski is very doubtful to be able to return for Tuesday’s match.
Barcelona were without defender Alejandro Balde for the first leg of their Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan.
The 21-year-old was out with a hamstring injury that he sustained in a match against Leganes in April.
Therefore, Gerard Martin started on the left of Barcelona’s back four. He has been filling in since Balde picked up his injury.
Alejandro Balde To Return For Inter Vs Barcelona Second Leg
It won’t be too long before Alejandro Balde is back for Barcelona, however.
The Spanish international is just a few days away from returning.
Therefore, Balde should be back for next Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Inter.
On the other hand, Barcelona will be without defender Jules Kounde due to injury. He sustained a problem during yesterday’s first leg against Inter.
“Slight Hope” For Lewanodwski To Be Fit For Second Leg
Meanwhile, Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski missed yesterday’s semifinal first leg.
The Polish international and former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich striker suffered an injury during Barcelona’s clash with Celta Vigo last month.
Lewandowski will still have a few days out. He will certainly miss this weekend’s La Liga match against Real Valladolid.
Then, the question is where Lewandowski can return for the second leg against Inter.
There would be some possibility of seeing the Pole back.
However, reports AS, it would be extremely doubtful that Lewandowski can return to fitness in time.
