Vitor Roque did not play a single minute in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup against Osasuna. In fact, the Brazilian didn't even warm up. The reason, a slight muscular discomfort in the hamstring that caused the coaching staff to act cautiously against the 'rojillos'. This Saturday, the former Athletico Paranaense player did complete the session with the rest of his teammates, which indicates that his feelings have improved and that he is fit to play this Sunday, if so Xavi deems it appropriate.
According to SPORT, the attacker returned from Barbastro with slight muscle discomfort in the back of his leg that, in fact, prevented him from training on Tuesday with the rest of his teammates before travelling to Saudi Arabia. Tests performed ruled out an injury. The striker did take to the pitch in the build-up to the clash against the Reds. At least, during the first 15 minutes of training open to the media.
