Barcelona winger Vitor Roque joined Real Betis on loan during the summer, but he has encountered his first setback at the end of September with an ankle injury.
Following his injury, Roque managed to play just 29 minutes against Espanyol, without contributing any goals or assists. This lack of impact has raised concerns within the Barcelona hierarchy.
Details: According to Sport, the club is worried about Roque's poor form and the potential consequences if this trend continues. The management is closely assessing the young Brazilian's playing time at Benito Villamarín to reevaluate his situation.
There are discussions about the possibility of selling Roque in 2025 or 2026 if he doesn't show significant improvement. However, at this stage, he is not demonstrating enough to warrant such a move.
Recall: It's worth noting that Roque has joined Betis on a one-year loan with an option for an additional season. His new club has taken on the responsibility of his salary and retains the right to purchase him, with the buyout clause reportedly set at €25 million.
In six matches with his new team, the Brazilian has scored one goal, accumulating a total of 303 minutes on the pitch.
