Xavi Hernandez confirms Vitor Roque's chances of joining Barca in January

Many Barcelona fans have been concerned about Vitor Roque's fitness, who suffered a serious injury in last week's match between Atletico Paranaense and Internacional in the Brazilian league.

The Brazilian prodigy had to leave the field on a stretcher after a hard tackle and many 'Cules' fans feared that this could affect his January arrival at the Catalan club, as agreed in the deal the two clubs reached in the summer.

However, Xavi Hernandez confirmed in the press conference before the Blaugrana's match against Mallorca that there is a possibility that Vitor Roque could arrive in January, after the Brazilian team announced that he would not undergo surgery on his ankle injury.

"There is a chance that he will arrive in January. The doctors have spoken and there is no surgery. He will do a conservative treatment to recover well," said the Spanish coach.
