Jordi Alba back with the group ahead of the Clasico

The left back's return to the group was the big news on Thursday in training

Jordi Alba, en el entrenamiento / | sport

Jordi Alba rejoined training at Barcelona on Thursday morning. The left back took part of the session with the group and his presence in the Clasico against Real Madrid could yet come to fruition.

The defender was hurt on October 5, suffering a muscular leg injury. He had to leave the pitch against Sevilla, with Sergino Dest coming in to replace him.

The Dutch defender played at left-back and featured there since, against Getafe and Ferencvaros.

 

However Ronald Koeman could put Alba back there, fitness depending, and play Dest in his preferred right back spot, or keep Sergi Roberto in for now.
