Luis Enrique plans to keep Sergi Roberto on his toes

The Spaniard, normally a midfielder, has impressed as a right back so far this season but the Barcelona head coach insists he could find himself changing positions again.

Luis Enrique says Sergi Roberto's future does not necessarily lie at right back for Barcelona despite another impressive performance in the 5-0 win over Sporting Gijon on Saturday.

The 24-year-old, normally a midfielder, has made a name for himself at fullback so far this season, having a major hand in another goal during a big win for the Liga champion at El Molinon.

There have even been suggestions he could rival Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid for a place in the Spain defense, but Luis Enrique suggested Roberto's conversion to a wide role, while hugely successful so far, may not be permanent.
