Ernesto Valverde will face an unexpected and important setback with the injury of Jordi Alba

The muscular problem that the left-back suffered against Borussia Dortmund will keep him away from the playing field for the next 2 or 3 weeks, so it is time for one of FC Barcelona's new faces, Junior Firpo.

As expected, the player coming from Real Betis has been taking on a more secondary role since his arrival at Camp Nou. Therefore, the absence of the former Valencia CF player will allow him to adapt to Valverde's tactical system in the city of Barcelona. A coach who is still on thin ice, especially due to the poor performance his team has shown away from home.

A draw and thanks in Germany in their debut in the Champions group stage. The next commitment that the culés have on the horizon will be on the fifth matchday of LaLiga Santander, where Barcelona will visit one of the great sensations of the season, Granada CF, led by Diego Martínez. They have already put Athletic Club and CA Osasuna to the test.

Junior has only played 9 minutes in the current season, as reported by the newspaper Sport. That is why he will need the support of all his teammates, although Barcelona's defensive fragility has been more than evident (despite not conceding in the Signal Iduna Park). This Saturday, September 21, starting at 21:00 hours, it is expected that Firpo will start in the land of Granada. Will Valverde's troops achieve their first victory away from Camp Nou?
