Montoya, Sergi Roberto face being stuck at Barcelona

Martín Montoya and Sergi Roberto could be forced to stay with Barcelona due to their transfer ban.

Marca says the pair are unhappy with the bit-part roles they've played this season under Luis Enrique and are both seriously considering their futures.

But Barca are reluctant to release them with a ban for both 2015 transfer windows looming.

Next month the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will decide whether to uphold FIFA's punishment. The club lodged a fast-track appeal and a hearing has been set for the first week of December, so a final ruling will be issued before the end of 2014.
