DUTRUEL BACK IN BARCA RECKONING

RICHARD DUTRUEL has been given a squad number by Barcelona at last and has been added to the Champions League squad, although coach Carles Rexach is still looking to transfer him.

The French keeper described the events as 'a return to normality', although he has not been registered for the Spanish league.

Rexach has tried to force the transfer of Dutruel, by stating that he will not include the keeper in his plans and that he only wanted to two custodians in his first team - Roberto Bonano and Jose Manuel Reina.

Dutruel said: "This does not change anything for me, the only thing that it changes is that I have the same possibilities that the others have.

"Whilst you have a contract you must have the same possibilities that the others have, and this has only happened in the end.

"In football things change very fast, since the season is long and the coach could need me someday."
