Sergi Roberto ruled out of Barcelona’s UCL clash against Benfica

Barcelona confirmed on Monday that Sergi Roberto will miss Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Benfica at the Camp Nou.

The 29-year-old hasn’t featured since the defeat to Rayo Vallecano, that proved to be Ronald Koeman’s last game in charge, and is continuing to struggle with an injury.

Here’s the latest from Barca:

Roberto had been tipped by some outlets to come into the team at right-back in place of Oscar Mingueza but that will not now be the case.

Mingueza could continue although there’s also a chance Sergino Dest may return.
