Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Barcelona have suffered a second injury blow following their Copa del Rey defeat on Wednesday night, with confirmation that full-back Jordi Alba is set to be sidelined by a hamstring injury.
Alba will likely miss the majority of Barca's run-in to the end of the season as they aim to reel in the four-point gap behind Primera Division leaders Atletico Madrid.
The news comes a day after Neymar was ruled out for four weeks after sustaining a left foot injury in the 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid at the Mestalla.
Alba confirmed the bad news, which is set to sideline him for three weeks, on his Instagram page, writing: "Confirmed my injury, I hope to return soon.
"We get up and return stronger. Thanks to the fans for the support!"
