Barcelona have confirmed that Jordi Alba suffered a relapse of a hamstring injury against Bayern Munich.

Barça have also revealed that Memphis Depay injured his hamstring against Bayern.

The club have not said how long the Dutchman is expected to be out.

Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto has undergone surgery on a thigh problem and will be out for up to four months.

Barça said:

“Jordi Alba is having trouble with his right hamstring and will be unavailable until he recovers. He was replaced by Oscar Mingueza in the 31st minutes of the 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

“Meanwhile, Memphis has injured the biceps femoris in his left hamstring and is out of action until he recovers. Memphis started the game and played all 90 minutes, but was clearly having fitness issues at the end. 

“Sergi Roberto successfully underwent an operation this Thursday on the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh.

“Surgery was performed by Doctor Lasse Lempainen, under supervision of the FC Barcelona Medical Services in Turku (Finland). The player will remain out of action until he has fully recovered.”
