Roberto will now undergo tests to determine the severity of the problem but will be a doubt for Barca’s next game on Tuesday away at Slavia Prague in the Champions League.

Barcelona have suffered a series of injuries to players in the early weeks of the season, with Roberto the latest player to pick up a problem.
