Alert! Jordi Alba taken off injured during Spain vs Italy
It seemed at first he had sustained a hamstring injury in his left leg. Alba started the game and had to be taken off after 22 minutes
Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba had to be taken off in the 22nd minute of Spain's World Cup qualifier against Italy after suffering an injury.
He was replaced by Nacho in Turin and initial impressions are that he has suffered a hamstring problem in his left leg.
This is bad news for Barcelona and Luis Enrique, who already has three players suffering with problems - Lionel Messi, Samuel Umtiti and Ivan Rakitic.
Alba started for Spain alongside Blaugrana team-mates Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets. The fifth Barcelona player called up, Sergi Roberto, started on the bench.
