Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has tipped the in-form Sergi Roberto to shine with the Spain national team.

The 22-year-old La Masia product has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for the Liga champion this season - his versatility helping ease the burden of injuries to several key first-team players.

Roberto starred with dazzling assists for both goals in Barcelona's 2-0 win over Getafe on Saturday and Luis Enrique, who also coached the player during his formative years, believes he would be ready to step up if reports linking him with a maiden call-up for Spain's friendlies against England and Belgium this month prove to be accurate. 

"That would be great, it's great for any player," said Luis Enrique. "Sergi Roberto is a player I had with Barca B. I know what a top quality player he is.

"It's difficult to play for any national team, especially the Spanish team, but I think he's more than ready."
