Xavi in ​​trouble: Sergi Roberto will have to undergo surgery and will be out for four months

He won’t play until March. Sergi Roberto has an injury in the rectus femoris of the right thigh and must be operated on. This was reported by the FC Barcelona medical services through their social networks, which is why they will not be in the duel they will have against Bayern Munich for the Champions League. In addition, it is likely that Xavi Hernández will not be able to count on Spanish for at least four months.

The intervention will be carried out by Dr. Lasse Lempainen, in Turku (Finland), and will be supervised, as usual in these cases, by the Barça team’s doctors. If there were no problems, Sergi Roberto would be back on the courts in April 2022. Precisely, on the final stretch of the season.

Rectus femoris problems in the right thigh have been recurring for Sergi Roberto since last season. The youth squad has been out since last October 27, when he was injured in Vallecas. Then, the medical report provided by Barcelona spoke of an elongation in the quadriceps of the same leg.

Sergi Roberto has played 12 games this year (9 in the League and 3 in the Champions League) and has scored two goals: in the victories against Real Sociedad, on the first day (4-2), and against Getafe, in the third (2-1). Xavi will have to cope without him.

Sergi Roberto, one of the four Barcelona captains, has played twelve official matches this season, in which he has scored two goals. It should be noted that the Spaniard already missed 37 games last season due to injuries and in preseason he was out for two weeks due to a rib problem.
