Jordi Alba missed Barcelona training through injury on Monday and is now a doubt for El Clasico.
Alba picked up an injury in Barca's 1-1 draw at Anoeta against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening, and the club have confirmed his current status.
As well as Arda, though, after Monday's training session at the Ciutat Esportiva, Barça have given some bad news regarding Jordi Alba.
The club went on to state Alba "has severe bruising to the tip of his fibula and to his knee, while he also has a sprain in his right ankle."
Those were the results of scans on Alba that were performed on Monday morning, requiring the player to miss training.
Alba clashed with Carlos Vela in the first half of the game at Anoeta, but soldiered on to play the full 90 minites.
Barca's statement ended by saying “his evolution will mark his availability for the coming matches," which includes the upcoming Clasico.
