Sergi Roberto suffered a muscle strain and a decision will be taken today over his involvement in Real Madrid - FC Barcelona
Sergi Roberto trained with the rest of the team on Thursday
He couldn’t finish the game against Manchester United due to a strain in the back of his thigh and 48 hours later Sergi Roberto is still a doubt for Barça’s next match. The player and the technical staff will decide this Friday if the player will be able to play against Real Madrid or not.
With the start of the season just a few weeks ago, no one will be risked, even for a clásico. So far, Roberto has played as a central midfielder and winger, and both the player himself and the manager are happy with his performances so far. “He is more of a wide midfielder but I wanted to try him in a game of this level to see if he could help us as a central midfielder. I think he played well. I think it went well. It’s not the same as playing as a wide midfielder and he tends to drive forward and carry the ball because he is strong. But I think he can help us in that position as well,” Valverde said after the game against Manchester United.
