2025 Fantasy Outlook
Roberts played a big role in the Championship last season, starting 40 times and producing five goal contributions (two goals, three assists.) The defender was excellent for the most part in the second division, which has kind of been the story of his career. In the Premier League, he started 19 times in 2021/22 and eight times in 2023/24. Surrounding those season were massive Championship campaigns and now with Kyle Walker in the mix, Roberts could be set for another underwhelming season, the main worry if drafting him in fantasy leagues.
Likely after international break
Roberts is expected to miss out until after the international break, according to manager Scott Parker, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express. "Con is okay. He won't be ready for this weekend. The likelihood is that Con will probably feature back after the international break. He's had an injection and things seem to be progressing in the right way, so hopefully we'll see him after the international break now."
ANALYSIS
Roberts was close to a return from a muscular injury, but after an injection, he will now need more time. The defender is set to miss out on around three weeks, hoping to see the field after the international break. This does leave the club without some depth in the defense, as he is likely for a bench spot once fit.
