Barcelona have covered up an injury to Sergi Roberto

Barcelona have covered up an injury to Sergi Roberto

Since the end of the Malaga match, Sergi Roberto has not been seen on a training pitch. Not on Tuesday, not on Wednesday and not today, Thursday, has he been seen training with his teammates. 

He was not in the mini-match played on Wednesday between the members of the first team squad not with their national teams and Barça B. All week he has remained in the gym. 

The club, as is sadly all too regular in recent weeks, have kept all this information totally secret. 

Roberto, a midfielder who has been performing impressively as a right-back in the absence of Dani Alves, it seems, has picked up a muscle injury. 

Now we will have to wait for confirmation, but it could rule him out of the game against Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon on September 12. 

In the case that he can't play, the only alternative for Luis Enrique is to play Adriano at right-back.
