Barcelona management have spoken with Aleix Vidal about his playing concerns.

Sport says he wasn't in the squad for the Celtic game and has not been in the squad since. He was among the 20 players who travelled to Germany this week, but in the end he didn't make the bench, along with Jordi Masip. That's now five games running he's not been in the squad.

Barcelona have transmitted to him that he still features in their plans, that they will give him more time to keep working and to try and recover Luis Enrique's confidence.

Vidal is ready to give his all to try and rectify the situation, but he's not closing the door on a January departure, either. Barcelona management have spoken with Aleix Vidal about his playing concerns.
