SERGI ROBERTO NEWS

Available Saturday Roberto made the squad list for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Roberto will still play after missing three straight games due to a groin issue. Youngster Marc Casado has been brought in to back him up but Roberto figures to start given some of the other absences on the right flank.

Still in question Roberto (groin) is considered questionable heading into Saturday's match against Mallorca, according to manager Xavi via MARCA.

Impact Roberto has missed three straight games and while he could play, his fitness is certainly in question. Youngster Marc Casado could be called up from the second team if a right-back is needed, though a change in system could also protect a weakened part of the pitch due to depth issues. The injuries to Jules Kounde (hamstring), Hector Bellerin (calf) and now Roberto have come at a bad time ahead of a busy stretch before the World Cup.

Won't play Saturday Roberto (groin) didn't make the squad list for Saturday's match against Elche.

Impact Roberto misses a third straight game due to this injury and will hope to use the international break to recover in time for a busy October. While he's out, either Jules Kounde or Hector Bellerin should start at right-back, though Roberto is unlikely to start with much consistency over better summer signings.

Comes off bench in loss Roberto logged six minutes off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Roberto has played off the bench in both of his appearances to open the season. With Sergino Dest getting pushed out of the squad, Roberto is likely to fill in for more opportunities on the right flank or in defensive-midfield, where he's also capable of playing. Neither situation results in a player with much fantasy value.

Ready for preseason Roberto (quadriceps) has passed Barcelona's medical tests and will join the team when the preseason starts on July 4, Jordi Gil of Diario AS reports.

Impact Roberto missed much of last season with a quad injury he picked up in late October, underwent surgery on in December and then suffered a setback for in April. He has been working at Barcelona's training complex to get fit again during the offseason and he should be ready to begin the preseason healthy in July.

Extends contract with Barcelona Roberto has signed a one-year contract extension with Barcelona, the club announced Friday.

Impact Roberto has been with Barcelona since he was 13 years old, and the defender/midfielder (now 30) has just signed on through the 2022/23 campaign. However, a quad injury he suffered in October limited him to just 12 appearances in all competitions last season, and he will want to return at full fitness in order to contribute to the team next year.

Suffers injury setback Roberto (quadriceps) has re-injured himself and is now expected to miss the rest of the season, according to Albert Roge of Sport.

Impact Roberto was close to finally making his return after missing around six months with a quad injury that required surgery in December. The 30-year-old's future with Barcelona is up in the air at the moment as his contract expires in the summer, and his position is not strengthened by the fact that he hasn't played since October.

Out with quadriceps injury Roberto is out indefinitely with a quadriceps injury, the team announced Monday.

Impact Roberto has been out of action since Oct. 27 versus Rayo Vallecano due to a thigh problem and is now facing another extended stint on the sidelines. Even once cleared to play, Roberto is far from a lock for the starting XI, which will limit his fantasy value.

Back in squad Saturday Roberto (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Espanyol.

Impact Roberto used the two weeks to recover over the break and he's in his first squad since late October because of a thigh injury. It's unclear what role he'll have under Xavi, as he's lost playing time this season, so that'll be something to watch in the coming weeks.
