Sergi Roberto
COM
Plays a few minutes against Napoli
Roberto (thigh) had four passes and no other stats in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Napoli.
Analysis: Roberto was deployed late upon returning from a two-game absence and had little time to leave his mark on the game. He'll likely continue to play second fiddle to Lucas Da Cunha and Maximo Perrone in the final tilts. He has tallied two key passes, one corner and two tackles (two won) in his last five showings (two starts).
Option for Napoli clash
Roberto (thigh) "can't play the whole game but will be available Saturday," coach Cesc Fabregas stated.
Analysis: Roberto has recuperated from a thigh problem that cost him the past two matches and will resume splitting duties with Lucas Da Cunha and Maximo Perrone in the midfield. He has tallied two chances created, three tackles (all won) and three interceptions in his last five appearances (two starts).
Out against Genoa
Roberto (thigh) "is nursing a small injury and will hopefully return versus Napoli next week," coach Cesc Fabregas stated.
Analysis: Roberto will sit out the second tilt in a row Sunday versus Genoa, but isn't expected to be sidelined for a long time. Maxenque Caqueret will absorb his minutes behind Lucas Da Cunha and Maximo Perrone.
