"I'll come back stronger than before"

Alejandro Balde was replaced after 14 minutes against Mallorca after a tough challenge from Amath Ndiaye. The Barca left-back could not stand up and needed help to be able to leave the pitch.

Once the game had finished, the Barcelona medical team announced that the defender had suffered a partial break to his ankle, meaning he will be out for between six and seven weeks.

Nonetheless, the 19-year-old said on 'The Residency' that he is making good progress and will recover very soon: "I am doing quite well. I'll be back stronger than before," he said.

The Spain international has become a key player in Xavi Hernandez's squad and has played 44 competitive matches this season, scoring one goal and providing seven assists.
