But the defeat is not he only thing that will be concerning Ronald Koeman this morning.

The defeat, and indeed the manner of the defeat could be a problem for Barcelona and Koeman, but things won’t get easier if Jordi Alba has indeed suffered an injury.

As noted by Marca, Alba had hamstring issues throughout the preparations for this game but it was decided that he would be risked.
