Luis Enrique doesn't believe Barcelona needs to sign a replacement for Thomas Vermaelen, who could miss the rest of the season.

“Injuries are a normal part of football and it’s a process the players go through. This has been the case with Thomas since his arrival at the club. The team is fine, we have to support the player and as time passes quickly, he’ll soon be with us. In principal, there’s no intention to sign a reinforcement, although the plans of the club are another matter. We don’t have any doubts that in the future, Vermaelen has a lot to offer us.”
