Add to that the recent update regarding Balde's injury, which states the player is on the verge of a comeback.
Alejandro Balde, since his debut under Xavi, has been showing glimpses of his true potential. A smart, pacy wingback by trait, Balde possesses the ability to assist in the offensive presence while maintaining the backline's responsibility quite well. However, a tendon rupture in late January ruined his 2023–24 season, ruling him out until May.
When Hansi Flick took on the role of manager, he clearly expressed his plans for the winger. Flick loves Pacy full-backs, and thus, he declared that Balde would deliver the role of what Davies did for the German manager during his Bayern time. Thus, Balde's role automatically became important during the Flick era.
Reports were constantly delivering updates on Balde's recovery, and according to the most recent update, Alejandro Balde has started group training today. When Cancelo's future doesn't seem to cross paths with the Catalan club, Balde's role will become extremely important in the left full-back position.
