The Belgium international moved to Camp Nou from Arsenal last summer. He was signed injured and has yet to make his competitive debut for the Catalans.

FC Barcelona confirmed in a statement on the club's official website that Vermaelen has received medical clearance and he will provide valuable experience for a Barca side still chasing the Liga, UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey titles this season.

Hopefully he gets a few minutes. In a weird way I'm actually really excited to see what he can bring as both a CB and a LB.

His value as a back up left back will be great. He will also add n more the the furious competition for centre back places. Our defence got better even though some may be laughing.

Yeah I agree. If he can stay fit then he will be really valuable at LB. Also remembered that Jordi is suspended so he is in with a chance of playing there against Getafe.

+1.

Getafe is a good game for him to get those minutes. I'm excited to see what he can do too.

I am not laughing at all. If he can stay fit (I know that is a Siberia-sized "if") he is a very good player no doubt.
