Memphis and Jordi Alba injured with no return date

Barcelona have returned from Munich eliminated from the Champions League and, to make matters worse, with two new injuries. Jordi Alba, who could not even finish the first half, and Memphis Depay are both out, the club said on Thursday.

Jordi Alba had to be replaced after half an hour. He was replaced by Mingueza and Barcelona made it 1-0 moments later, a goal that sealed their European fate.

Barcelona have confirmed, after medical tests on his return to Barcelona, that he is suffering from a hamstring injury in his right thigh.

Memphis, on the other hand, did finish the game, but he was seen playing half-heartedly in the final moments. It wasn't idleness or reluctance, it was muscular discomfort. Barcelona have reported that he has an injury to the biceps femoris in his left thigh.

The Catalan giants did not want to give an approximate time out for either of them. Instead, they have stated that they are still awaiting progress, so it may be too early to rule them both out for Sunday's clash in Pamplona.
