A Spanish press report revealed today, Thursday, a happy news awaiting Barcelona in the El Clásico match against Real Madrid, scheduled for December 18.
According to the Spanish newspaper Sport, the recovery of left-back Jordi Alba is proceeding very promisingly.
She pointed out that the player is expected to return to participate in a number of minutes against Real Sociedad in La Liga, in order to be fully ready for Clasico.
She explained that Junior Verbo did not give safety to coach Ernesto Valverde on the left, so the latter hoped to quickly restore Alba's services.
With regard to the injury of Portuguese midfielder Nelson Semedo, the possibility of his participation in the El Clásico is difficult, because his return date comes just 3 days before the game after spending 5 weeks of recovery.
