Barcelona have reportedly decided whether or not to recall Alex Valle from his loan at Celtic.

The left-back made the desired impact off the bench for Brendan Rodgers last night in the Champions League.

Within minutes of coming on for Greg Taylor, he slipped the ball to Daizen Maeda on the left flank before the Japanese forward produced a moment of brilliance to cut inside and score to equalise against Club Brugge.

The 20-year-old joined the Scottish Premiership champions on deadline day in the summer in a late flurry of transfer activity from the Hoops.

And it's good news for Celts fans. It's said that Barca are 'happy' with the progress Valle is making in Scotland despite a lack of game time with just six starts in all competitions.

Before the last European match against RB Leipzig, it was rumoured that the La Liga giants would consider recalling Valle due to being short of options on the left side of their backline.

However, Spanish media outlet, Sport, claims that a return to Catalonia in January looks to be off the cards.

They state that Hansi Flick is pleased with Valle's performances, with Barca 'monitoring his progress' at Celtic.

The report says Barcelona 'expects' Valle to see out the season in Glasgow, and are 'happy with how his game is evolving'.
