The midfielder was substituted during the 6-1 thrashing of Roma in the Champions League but Andres Iniesta took part in training on Friday having sat out the midweek clash

Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto is set to miss his side's match against Real Sociedad on Saturday due to an ankle problem.


The club confirmed on Wednesday that Roberto sustained a sprained right ankle during the 6-1 Champions League demolition of Roma, with the 23-year-old replaced by Adriano after 64 minutes.

Roberto was absent from Barca's final training session on Friday ahead of the match but Andres Iniesta took part having sat out the midweek Champions League fixture as a precaution.
