Barça defender Sergi Roberto set to return against Athletic Club at Camp Nou

The right-back has been out of action for two months but could return on Sunday

Everything indicates that Ronald Koeman will have Sergi Roberto available for Barcelona's game against Athletic Club on Sunday at Camp Nou.

Despite not having the medical green light yet, the right-back trained as normal on Saturday after taking part in a small-sided game on Friday.

Roberto returns at a crucial time as Koeman is still without Sergiño Dest, who has been struggling with a thigh problem for a few weeks now.

With Dest and Roberto out, the Dutch coach has been using B team defender Oscar Mingueza as an emergency solution at right-back.

Mingueza is still training with the first team and, on Saturday, the other B team players involved were Konrad de la Fuente, Ilaix Moriba and goalkeeper Arnau Tenas.
