Sergi Roberto joins Barcelona’s lengthy injury list, will miss El Clasico

Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto has become the latest player to be sidelined with injury.

The Catalan giants confirmed on Wednesday that the 31-year-old is out of action with a calf problem.

“First team player Sergi Roberto has a soleus muscle injury in his right leg and will be unable to play until the problem goes away,” read a statement.

Early reports indicate Roberto will miss a couple of weeks and is definitely out of Barcelona’s next three games against Athletic, Shakhtar and Real Madrid.

There are also doubts over whether he will be fit for Barcelona’s next game after that against Real Sociedad on November 4.
