Ernesto Valverde is hoping to restructure Barcelona's roster in January as he has an excess of players.

"There are 24 players in the squad and I am really happy with the players I have," he said in a news conference ahead of Sunday's league game against Las Palmas at Camp Nou.

"When we get to January, though, perhaps we will talk about restructuring. But as far as the squad is concerned, I will admit that I don't like squads to be too big."

Thomas Vermaelen and Arda Turan have not played a single minute in the Champions League or La Liga this season.
