Roberto was expected to start in midfield against Napoli as Barca lost Pedri, Frankie de Jong and Xavi to injury. According to Mundo Deportivo, the 32-year-old will not be able to take part in the match against the Neapolitans. This means that Xavi has only three ready-made players in the midfield: Ilkay Gundogan, Oriol Romeu and Fermin Lopez.
Barcelona lost de Jong and Pedri in the first half of the match against Athletic in San Mames.
