From the source
Barcelona star Alejandro Balde is expected to be afforded his very first starting berth of the campaign this coming weekend. This comes as the Blaugrana prepare to play host to Deportivo Alavés.
Hansi Flick’s troops are of course in the thick of their first major wobble of the season to date at present. After navigating their first 11 fixtures with a perfect record of 11 wins, Barca have been condemned to successive defeats at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Along the way, the defensive injury crisis in Catalunya’s capital has only continued to worsen, with all of Andreas Christensen, Eric García, Jules Koundé and Xavi Espart now sidelined.
