Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde is racing to be fit in time for Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter at Montjuic.

Balde has been ruled out with a hamstring injury sustained in the win over Leganes but has been expected to only miss a few weeks of action.

According to AS, Balde wants to play against the Serie A side but Barca want to err on the side of caution as they are worried there’s a risk of relapse.

A meeting will be held on Monday to assess the situation and potentially make a decision on Balde’s involvement in the game.
