Luis Enrique seems to have chosen his Aleix Vidal replacement already

He is estimated to be out for around five months. The club now have to decide if they want to sign a player

FC Barcelona trained on Sunday morning after the 6-0 win over Alaves, undertaking a recovery session, using various Barcelona B players.

The big absence from training was Aleix Vidal, obviously, after his ankle dislocation during the game on Saturday. He is estimated to be out for around five months. The club now have to decide if they want to sign a player to replace him — although he would have to be from La Liga, as an emergency signing.

Luis Enrique looks like he might choose Nili Perdomo as the replacement, from Barcelona B. He has included him in the squad occasionally. 

At the moment Sergi Palencia occupies the right-back spot in Gerard Lopez’s B team, but Lucho has demonstrated a preference for Perdomo.
