Another injury for the champions to contend with

Barcelona have offered an update on Sergi Roberto after he was forced off at half-time of Saturday’s 3-0 win over Eibar.

Barcelona’s update suggests it is not a serious injury but they may be without Roberto for Tuesday’s trip to Slavia Prague. The club then have a week off until their next fixture, due to El Clasico being postponed, with Real Valladolid the next visitors to Camp Nou on October 29.
