Barça's Sergi Roberto late drop out of Levante game with 'gastroenteritis'
The midfielder missed Sunday's league game after coming down with a bug over the weekend
Sergi Roberto was forced to pull out of Barcelona's squad for the game against Levante on Sunday with gastroenteritis.
The midfielder was likely to start due to Barça's injury and suspension problems but came down with a bug over the weekend.
Ronald Koeman, therefore, went with a midfield three of Sergio Busquets, Nico Gonzalez and Gavi, with Pedri also injured and Frenkie de Jong suspended.
Barça hope Roberto will recover in time for Benfica on Wednesday in the Champions League, with a trip to Atletico Madrid in LaLiga to follow.
Jordi Alba, Balde, Pedri, Dembélé, Braithwaite, Agüerr and Roberto, therefore, are the players who missed the Atletico game injured.
