Barcelona coach Xavi admits Nico Gonzalez could return from his Valencia loan in January.

The midfielder has struggled with VCF so far this season.

Ahead of today's clash, Xavi was asked if Nico could return in January: "Yes, why not?

"We will speak with him. The January window is coming and we have the World Cup break to work on it.

"We will decide based on the team's situation bit for now we are focused on the four games we have before the break."
