Vermaelen ready for Barcelona comeback

Barcelona have received some encouraging news on the injury front as Thomas Vermaelen has received the medical all clear after overcoming a calf problem.

The 30-year-old last featured for Barcelona in the 6-0 win over Getafe on March 12 and then picked up a knock in training in early April that kept him out of action since.

"Thomas Vermaelen has been given the medical all clear to return to action," a statement on the club's official website reads.

"The Belgian has now recovered from the calf injury that has kept him out since 11 April."

He featured just once in his first season after joining from Arsenal.
