The young Barcelona full-back Alejandro Balde will have to undergo surgery after suffering an injury to the “hamstring tendon” of his right leg, the Barça club reported this Saturday, thus saying goodbye to the season.
Xavi’s decision with Barcelona and reacts to Klopp’s departure at Liverpool: “No energy? I understand”
The medical tests that the player has undergone have revealed “an injury to the hamstring tendon of his right thigh,” for which he will undergo surgery in Finland in the coming days, Barça stated.
Balde will be operated on in the Finnish town of Turku by Dr. Lasse Lempainen, a specialist in this type of injuries who has already operated on players such as Ousmane Dembélé or Ansu Fati in the past.

Balde was injured last Wednesday in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal match, which Barça lost in extra time 4-2 against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés stadium in Bilbao.
The Barça defender, who lay down on the ground touching his thigh after noticing something strange, was replaced in the 22nd minute of the match by his teammate Héctor Fort.
Barcelona does not specify how long the player will be out, limiting itself to stating that another medical report will be issued after his intervention, but according to local media, Balde has said goodbye to the remainder of the season.

On Friday, Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, had already announced that they were evaluating with the player the best option to treat his injury.
“Now we have met with him, the family, the doctors. The decision is personal. “We will do what is best for him,” said Xavi, admitting that “it is a difficult moment for him.”
