Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and sporting director Robert Fernandez will reportedly hold discussions to determine how to replace the injured Aleix Vidal.

The full-back was stretchered off during the Blaugrana's 6-0 win over Alaves on Saturday in La Liga with a dislocated ankle and will miss the rest of the season as a result. According to Sport, that will prompt a meeting between Luis Enrique and Fernandez, with Sergi Roberto the only option available to the manager in the role.

"Barcelona must decide if they will look into a limited market to replace Vidal, bring back a player who is elsewhere, continue using B team players as backup or to use first team players, like Javier Mascherano, in the position," it's added.
