Barcelona have revealed that Jordi Alba has returned to the club to have tests on his thigh injury.

The full-back picked up the problem during the closing moments of Spain's 1-1 draw with Finland last night.

Early reports have suggested that the 24-year-old has suffered a slight tear to the muscle, which could rule him out of action for a number of weeks.

In a short statement on the club's official website, Barcelona confirmed that they would provide an update on the severity of the injury tomorrow afternoon.
