Sergi Roberto's diagnosis bears good news for Xavi and the culers

| sport

The Barça doctors re-examined the player on Thursday and no serious injury has been detected.

Sergi Roberto was substituted at half-time in the Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen as a precaution.

The diagnosis made at the Camp Nou was confirmed this Thursday in a new medical examination.

The Barça player is not suffering from any injury, just some discomfort in his adductor muscles, which is not serious. However, at this stage of the season, caution is the order of the day and Xavi preferred to replace him with Piqué to avoid a scare.

Furthermore, this slight discomfort has nothing to do with the injury to his right leg that forced him to undergo surgery that made him miss the second half of the previous season.

Sergi Roberto could even be available against Cádiz, but it is more likely that he will rest to avoid risks and that he will be at 100% for the Champions League match against Bayern Munich the following Tuesday.

The man from Reus performed at an excellent level against Viktoria Plzen, showing a great understanding with Ousmane Dembélé, and is on his way to playing a major role in the current season.
