Xavi not concerned by Jordi Alba injury in Villarreal win

Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba is not believed to have picked up a serious muscle injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over Villarreal. The 32-year-old had been playing with a muscle problem for a while and that appeared to catch up with him against Villarreal as he sank to the turf with 20 minutes to go and had to limp off down the tunnel. He had asked to be replaced ten minutes earlier but Xavi took the risk to keep him on.
