Updated 3 November 2014 at 8:12 am

MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto will miss Wednesday's Champions League Group F match at Ajax Amsterdam after picking up a leg muscle injury, the La Liga club said on Monday.

Sergi Roberto joins playmaker Andres Iniesta and defenders Jeremy Mathieu and Thomas Vermaelen on the injured list and all four were left out of the squad for the trip to the Netherlands, Barca said on their website.

Barca are second in the group on six points, one behind Paris St Germain who beat them 3-2 in the French capital at the end of September. Ajax are third on two points with APOEL bottom with one.

Barca need to bounce back after losing for a second straight game in La Liga on Saturday when they were beaten 1-0 by Celta Vigo at the Nou Camp and surrendered top spot to Real Madrid.

Inside warzone suburb where gangs of feral yobs aged 9 terrorise locals
Terrified residents say their once quiet suburb has been turned into a "warzone" by gangs of feral yobs - including some as young as nine. Young tearaways regularly steal from shops, pelt peoples' homes with eggs and steal cars for so-called 'joyrides'. Locals living in Wollescote, Stourbridge, West Mids., say they can't sleep with many installing CCTV cameras to make sure their homes are safe. Police have been called in to patrol local buses after several were vandalised by teen gangs who residents say now "rule the area". Londis worker Yamuna Ramakrishnan, 21, said she was plagued by shoplifters on a daily basis. She said: "The kids steal chocolate and whatever else they can fit in their pockets. "They also take other other things from nearby shops and put them in our shop for a prank. They took chairs and put them in our shop. “It’s been happening for more than four months. They usually come usually around 8pm. “They also smash up nearby shop doors. We call police but they run away. “They just come in and disturb the customers. They don’t allow the customers to come inside.” Last week a group of youngsters stole a car and crashed into a homeowner’s Nissan Juke and demolished his wall. CCTV footage shows the stolen Honda 4x4 careering along the road before losing control and ploughing into the parked car on Worton Road.
