Sergi Roberto Bonds with Teammates on His Birthday Celebration

Barça’s captain, Sergi Roberto, marked his 32nd birthday today alongside the first-team squad and coaching staff. The club released images capturing the midfielder with a birthday cake surrounded by his teammates.

This celebration served as a team-building moment just three days before the upcoming league clash at Lluís Companys against Granada. Before the festivities, Roberto participated in this morning’s training session, although he continued to train separately from the group.

The academy product had to pause training due to Achilles tendon discomfort, and a decision will be made tomorrow regarding his potential return to full group activities in preparation for Sunday’s match. There is optimism regarding his chances of receiving medical clearance, but his progress over the next few hours will determine the final decision.

Meanwhile, Raphinha, a notable presence, trained without issues and is expected to be a key inclusion in the squad alongside Ter Stegen for the Granada encounter. Barça’s infirmary still includes significant figures such as Joao Félix, Ferran Torres, Gavi, Balde, and Marcos Alonso.
