This was the third case of coronavirus detected at the Spanish club this week. In addition to Alba, defender Daniel Alves and defender Clément Lenglet were also infected.
Jordi Alba will be a major embezzler in Xavi Hernández’s team in the upcoming matches, as the full-back is the absolute starter at Barça.
The next appointment of culés will be against Mallorca this Sunday, at 17:00 (GMT), away from home, by the spanish championship.
Barça is in seventh place in the tournament, with two points less than Rayo Vallecano, first team within the qualifying zone for the next Champions League.
