Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has stressed the Catalans cannot sign a replacement for Rafinha due to their FIFA-imposed transfer ban.
Luis Enrique has made it clear that FIFA will not allow Barcelona to sign a replacement for Rafinha outside of the transfer window.
The Brazil international sustained a season-ending injury in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Roma on Wednesday and the Catalans were allegedly keen to bring in a replacement for Rafinha.
FIFA does allow teams to bring players in outside the transfer window in the event of long-term injuries, but Luis Enrique has stressed that Barcelona's transfer ban means world football's governing body will not let the club bring in any new players until January.
