Alba off injured
Jordi Alba had to leave the field of play after 21 minutes of the World Cup qualifier between Italy and Spain in Turin this evening, with what appeared to be a muscle strain in his right leg. He left the pitch under his own steam having been asked to be substituted.
The Barcelona left back was replaced by Nacho.
Alba's 50th cap
This was Alba's 50th cap for Spain. He made his debut against Scotland on 11 October 2011 and has scored six goals in his international career so far. He's the 39th player to reach a half-century of appearances for Spain.
