Sergi Roberto - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Nets brace versus Almeria Roberto scored two goals off five shots (three accurate) and created three chances during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Almeria.

Impact Roberto was one of the heroes for Barca here as he scored twice during the first half, including the game-winner in the 83rd minute. The midfielder almost had a hat trick, but his left-footed shot during stoppage time ended up hitting the crossbar. Anyway, this was a very encouraging performance from the captain, who's completely recovered after missing significant time with a calf injury.

On bench against Porto Roberto (calf) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash with Porto.

Impact Roberto is finally back with the team after a seven-match absence, earning a bench role in his return. The defender has only started in two matches this season, so he shouldn't be expected to gain much time after reaching full fitness, only holding more of a rotational role as he gets late minutes off the bench.

Returns to training Roberto (calf) was back training with the team ahead of Tuesday's match against Porto.

Impact Roberto could be an option for Tuesday's match after returning to the training pitch on Monday, but he will most likely only be on the bench if he does make the team sheet. If he does play, it would end a seven-match absence, as he has yet to compete since early October. If he does not return for Tuesday's match, expect him to return Sunday against Atletico Madrid.

Not playing Saturday Sergi Roberto (calf) is not in the squad for Saturday's match at Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Roberto hasn't played since early October, and there's clarity on when he might return to action. The versatile defender hopes to be available in the coming weeks, but he has yet to return to training, and there's no timetable for when he might be back. His next chance to play will come in the UEFA Champions League against Porto next Tuesday.

Not in match-day squad Roberto (calf) will not face Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.

Impact Roberto will be shelved for his fifth straight contest due to his lingering calf problem. With the short week ahead of Sunday's matchup with Deportivo Alaves, Roberto seems unlikely to return prior to the upcoming international break. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder has been a bench option in his last seven squad inclusions, including being an unused substitute four times.

Sidelined against Sociedad Roberto (calf) is not on the squad list for Saturday's match against Sociedad.

Impact Roberto will be missing his fourth straight match as he continues to recover from a calf injury. The defender still has no timetable for his return after the club announced him as "out indefinitely," so it is hard to tell when to expect him back, but it will most likely be after the international break. He could slip into the squad before then with two matches remaining until the break but would be much better off getting his extra week of rest to work on his recovery.

Out with calf problem Roberto will be sidelined indefinitely with a calf injury, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Roberto hasn't featured in the starting XI since Sept. 3 versus Osasuna, a stretch of seven matches that included four instances in which the midfielder was an unused substitute. While Roberto's absence is unlikely to have impacted the starting XI, injuries are starting to pile up for the club including Frankie de Jong (ankle) and Pedri (quadriceps).

Scores late equalizer Roberto came off the bench to score with his only shot in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Grenada.

Impact Roberto latched onto Alex Balde's low cross to score his first of the season. He has found playing time hard to come by so far, managing six appearances, only two of which have been starts. The academy graduate is unlikely to start consistently, but his versatility should see him get ample playing time as the season goes on.

Starts previous two contests Roberto started Barcelona's previous two matches at right-back, registering four crosses (two accurate) and one interception.

Impact Roberto was an unused substitute in the season opener and came off the bench in the second match of the campaign, so his spot in the starting XI should be considered tenuous at best. Additionally, Roberto's two starts came as Pedri (quadriceps) was on the shelf. Still, with Ronald Araujo (hamstring) out indefinitely, Roberto could be the preferred choice at right-back for the time being.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates chance in season finale Roberto had a regular role for Barcelona this season after recovering from a quad injury that ruled him out from late October onwards in 2021/22.

Impact Roberto tallied four goals and one assist in 23 La Liga appearances (15 starts) this season as Barcelona won its first league title since 2018/19, plus two more assists in the Champions League. The 31-year-old was a versatile utility player as he split time between right-back and the midfield trio, but he wouldn't be in the first-choice lineup at either position heading into next season.

On bench for derby Roberto (hamstring) is in Barcelona's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Espanyol.

Impact Roberto has missed his side's last four games with a hamstring injury he suffered in mid-April, but he's fit enough to make the squad Sunday and could see some playing time off the bench against Espanyol.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Extended absence confirmed Roberto is set to miss an indefinite amount of time after test reveal that he picked up a hamstring injury during Sunday's 0-0 draw to Getafe,

Impact This is a huge loss for the team, who is facing several injuries from the midfield position. Because of Pedri's (thigh) absence, Roberto had gotten the start the last nine matches, totaling two goals and one assist in that span. If Pedri and Frankie de Jong (hamstring) return Sunday, they will both mend the midfield along with Franck Kessie. However, further changes can also be made with Ansu Fati an option to come in to play the wing, with Gavi dropping back to take control of the midfield.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Getafe Roberto was subbed out of Sunday's clash against Getafe in the 18th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Roberto has started eight consecutive La Liga games for Barcelona mostly either in midfield or at right-back, but there is concern that this injury could possibly rule him out for the rest of the campaign, Javi Miguel of AS reports. Eric Garcia replaced him against Getafe, but a serious injury would mean an increased responsibility for Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo at right-back as well as Franck Kessie in midfield.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores El Clasico goal Roberto took two shots and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Madrid. He also made an interception and created two chances in the match.

Impact Roberto lined up alongside Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong in midfield on Sunday and he equalized the El Clasico match just before halftime, pouncing on a rebounded effort to slot home his fourth goal of the season. That equals his personal record total for goals across across a single professional campaign, tying his four that he netted as a teenager while with Barcelona B in the Segunda Division back in 2011-12.

Completes three successful tackles Roberto recorded five tackles (three won) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Roberto had a season high of tackles attempted in his fourth start in a row. With Pedri still hurt, the 31-year-old has been giving a shot to start, totaling one goal, one assist, 11 tackles (seven won) and four chances created in the last four games.

Extends contract with Barcelona Roberto has signed an 18-month contract extension with Barcelona.

Impact Despite a few injuries, Roberto is having one of his better seasons in recent years as he's tallied three goals and three assists in 17 appearances (10 starts) across La Liga and the Champions League, which is as many as he recorded in the previous two campaigns combined. The 31-year-old provides depth both at right-back and in midfield, and has now signed on to continue as a versatile backup option for Barcelona through the 2023/24 campaign.

Scores goal, assist against Cadiz Roberto scored a goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also won three of four tackles in the match, and he took three shots (two on target) overall.

Impact Roberto started in midfield Sunday for the first time this season, and he was the difference-maker against Cadiz as he pounced on a rebounded shot to slot home the opener and then set up a strike for Robert Lewandowski just a few minutes later. He should return to the bench once Sergio Busquets (ankle) is fit enough to start again, but Roberto is a very handy and versatile squad option for Barcelona.
