FC Barcelona – La Liga Only returned against Athletic last Sunday
Sergi Roberto suffered a relapse from the thigh injury that kept him out for two months.
The versatile Catalan felt some discomfort in his thigh after a cross, leaving him in the 57th minute Barcelona‘s 5-3 extra time win Granada at the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.
Sergi Roberto underwent tests on Barcelona‘s return from Andalusia, and these have confirmed it is the same injury he sustained in November.
The club has not indicated how long the 28-year-old will be out, but given the relapse and the fact that there are only 12 days left until Barcelona facing Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League match in the last 16, it seems very likely that he will not be available for this match.
Ronald Koeman is again short of options on the right back. Sergino Dest just got back from a problem of his own, as a central defender Oscar Mingueza he may have to take up this position again.
Between the injury sustained in November and test positive for COVID-19, Sergi Roberto missed a total of 22 games this season.
