Supposed Tottenham Hotspur target Carles Alena is expected to be allowed to leave Barcelona on loan in January, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The 21-year-old midfielder has not played for the Catalan giants since the opening day of the La Liga season when he was hooked at half time against Athletic Bilbao.

The report from Spain understands that there is an acceptance from Barcelona that Alena must find regular game time and therefore a winter loan is highly likely.
Alena is contracted at the Camp Nou until 2023 with a release clause of €75m [Mundo Deportivo] so a permanent deal looks hard to do.
Mundo Deportivo confirms Tottenham’s interest in the player and adds that another Premier League club and two from Spain are also keeping tabs on Alena’s availability.
The Spain Under-21 international has been on Mauricio Pochettino’s radar for some time and the Spurs manager scouted him personally for Barcelona B last season, Mundo Deportivo adds.
All sport has an element of danger, life has an element of danger, if you participate in either.
These kind of injuries also happen when a player hasn’t been challenged. A both feet off the ground ‘leg breaker’ of a challenge can often result in a lesser injury than this.
The red should be rescinded as it was an awful refereeing display to see the injury and turn yellow to red.
When an accident happens of any sort, everyone looks for someone to pin it on. The fact is most accidents are a unique set of circumstances that combine to create the accident.

Anyone slagging off Son is probably a retarded Chav or Gooner. So what?
Every tackle is a possible endangering of an
opponent’s safety, ridiculous decision by authorities, nobody could have foreseen this. I listened to the game on 5Live and the blood curdling commentary of Pat Nevin, genuinely put the wind up me, I thought from his reaction it was a life threatening injury. I know Son’s demeanour and he is not a dirty player, couldn’t get my head round this idea of a thuggish Son who recklessly smashed up his opponent. So I watch Match of the Day to see the worst. I saw an ill timed innocuous thrust of his leg across Gomes with very little force and a fall towards Aurier. Where was the mad scything lunge of a Son who had completely lost it and deliberately broke Gomes’ ankle? It was nowhere, because it never happened.
Now maybe he might call the ref a twerp for sending son off and not the turf
Will we get our 2 points back…? nope, so why is it the ref can get away scot free?
