SAs the decisive moment of the season approaches, the Barcelona begins to recover cash. It seems difficult that he will be able to empty his nurse before the tie against him Paris Saint Germain, although all the services of the club involved in the recovery of players work piecemeal for it. One of the ready is Sergi Roberto.
The one in Reus missed 22 games this season due to injuries. The most important, a muscle tear, was two months off. He also had to pass the coronavirus and his recovery was especially long. As it has been known in recent days, the Bara player took almost a month to stop testing positive in the PCR tests they did.
Sergi Roberto did not accept the game after injuring himself in a shot on goal
Once recovered, we already saw him reappear in the last league game, against Athletic Club. He played 23 minutes and, of course, he felt lacking in rhythm. The priority for Koeman now is to fix that issue. Recover the Catalan for the cause as soon as possible and that he can be in the best conditions now that the most demanding stage of the season arrives.
As is logical, Koeman especially likes the fact that he can count on a footballer with the versatility of Sergi Roberto. Recover a right back who will probably end up being the starter in important games. Dest got off to a very good start in that position, but has been raising doubts in his latest performances. On the other hand, Mingueza, who has been a patch in that area, has suffered greatly. It is not his natural position and he would appreciate being able to return to the axis of the rear.
On the other hand, Sergi Roberto can also intervene as a midfielder. Right now it is an area with a lot of competition, but it is a new alternative to give rest to Sergio Busquets. When Pjanic He has taken care of it, he has not been particularly fine and it is a key position within the team’s scheme.
On the other hand, he is a player raised in the house, who knows perfectly the football proposal that Koeman is trying to recover this season. In addition, he already has an important career within the team and experience in big games. Just what Bara will require in the commitments of the next few weeks.
As important as the recovery of Sergi Roberto can be the level that Samuel Umtiti reaches. The Frenchman has already started to show his head in the team. He has played two of Bara’s last three games in full. Koeman is testing him, seeing how far he can go. In those two participations, he has shown that only Piqu has a better shot than he, but also that he is physically very green. It remains to be seen how far it goes. * l
