Barcelona is scheduled to face Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on April 30 after the Nerazzurri's victory over Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Barcelona's injured left-back, Alejandro Balde, aims to recover from a hamstring injury sustained on April 12 to potentially participate in the crucial match. Despite the initial prognosis of a minimum three-week absence, Balde's return for the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid on April 26 seems unlikely. The club remains optimistic about his availability for the Inter Milan clash, though the risk of reinjury due to his history of hamstring issues is a concern. If Balde misses the first leg, efforts will focus on ensuring his full fitness for the return leg in Milan a week later, with expectations of his complete recovery by then.
