Quique Setién will be without the duo for the tough test at the Pizjuan

Barcelona will be without both Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong for Friday's game against Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan. 

De Jong hurt his calf against Mallorca and was taken off. He was an unused substitute against Leganes and didn't train on Thursday. 

Coach Quique Setien says he doesn't think it's too serious but does not want to risk him given the threat he could then lose him for up to four games. 

Roberto has a bruised rib. He injured it against Leganes and Setien says there's no concrete date when he can be expected back, it will depend on how he can handle the pain. 

Elsewhere, Samuel Umtiti is suspended, but there's better news in the form of Jordi Alba, who returns having completed a one-game ban during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Leganes. 

The squad

Ter Stegen, Semedo, Piqué, rakitic, Sergio, Arthur, Suárez, Messi, Neto, Lenglet, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, Braithwaite, Vidal, Iñaki Peña, Riqui Puig, Collado, Ansu Fati, Arauhjo, Saverio, Chumi and Monchu.
