The Spanish full-back made a return into the Barcelona first team only to see his club captain, Carles Puyol, dislocated his arm, which he believes is ‘bad luck’ for the defender.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 believes that it is only Puyol’s bad luck that he is getting injured again.
Carles Puyol was once considered to be a wall playing in Barcelona’s defence; however, his knee injury and his age has kept him out of action for quite some time now and he has not been a part of the Barcelona first-team on a regular basis.
Due to Puyol’s conditions, Tito Vilanova even decided to buy a defensive-minded player during the summer transfer window.
While the first defender which the Catalan giants bought was Jordi Alba, the second was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804.
Even though the Cameroonian star plays as a holding midfielder, Barcelona are trying to play him in the centre of defence and so far he has been doing an okay http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
While the Barcelona club captain was out of action throughout the summer because of an injured knee and the operation which he went to, now it looks as if he is going to be missing a lot of first-team football because he will be sidelined due to a dislocated
arm.
As Barcelona took on Benfica, Puyol finally made a recovery from an injury which he picked up earlier in the season. However, even though he was performing phenomenally for his side, he was unable to continue as he landed uncomfortably on his arm and was
unable to continue and was stretchered off.
While speaking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331, the newly signed Spanish full-back, Jordi Alba stated that it is only due to Puyol’s bad luck that he cannot play in the Barcelona first-team.
“The injury was a real pity. He has had a lot of bad luck in terms of injuries lately, but we know that he is very strong physically and mentally.”
Barcelona will be taking on their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, over the upcoming weekend and Puyol’s presence will be severely felt in the centre of defence and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique has also not fully recovered from his ankle injury.
