Barcelona confirmed Wednesday that defender Jordi Alba suffered a left hamstring injury during Tuesday's draw against Borussia Dortmund.

The club didn't reveal a recovery timeline, but Marca's M. Carmen Torres reports the full-back is expected to be out action for 10-to-15 days.

It's likely that the injury will force the 30-year-old to miss Barcelona's upcoming La Liga fixtures against Granada and Villarreal.

Sergi Roberto came on to replace Alba, but it was Nelson Semedo who shifted over to the Spaniard's left-back position during the goalless contest.
