Barcelona chief Robert rules out emergency fullback signing

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez says they won't be making an emergency fullback signing.

Barca had been granted permission to sign a replacement for the Injured Aleix Vidal.

"We're not going to make any movements in the market," Robert confirmed. "We've removed Aleix's registration, but we're not going to sign anyone."

Robert was speaking after the game against Depor, which Barça lost 2-1 to see their 19-game unbeaten streak in La Liga come to an end.

"It was an open, interesting game," Robert said. "Depor were magnificent and I congratulate them, but we were also good, but lacked the success of other days.

"I don't want to look for excuses, a result like this has to be analysed in another way. We played well, but we also have to recognise Depor's merits."
