Sergi Roberto misses Barcelona’s clash with Elche
The Catalans are in action on Saturday
Barcelona will be without Sergi Roberto for Saturday’s La Liga clash against Elche at the Camp Nou.
The 30-year-old has been left out of the matchday squad for the team’s final fixture before the upcoming international break.
Barcelona haven’t offered a medical update on Roberto but it’s being reported he’s picked up an Achilles injury.
Diario AS reckon it’s just a “minor injury” and it’s expected that Roberto will be fully fit again by the time Barcelona return to action on October 1 against Real Mallorca.
Roberto is Barca’s only injury concern at present and his absence means new arrival Hector Bellerin could get the nod at right-back again.
Jules Kounde took over in midweek against Bayern Munich but really doesn’t want to be playing at full-back which could mean a second Barca start for the former Arsenal man on Saturday.
