Barcelona wing-back Alejandro Balde has avoided serious injury after breaking down against Scotland yesterday.

Balde featured in Spain's Euros qualifying win, but was substituted at halftime and eventually released back to Barca this morning.

However, after scans today, Barca announced Balde has avoided a serious setback.

"The tests carried out this morning have confirmed that he suffers from discomfort in the adductors. It is low and its evolution will mark his availability," the club declared in a statement.

It means, Balde appears set to be available for the October 28 El Clasico against Real Madrid.
