Belgium defender, Thomas Vermaelen has been cleared to make his Barcelona debut after the long term injury he sustained last year in Brazil.

Vermaelen, who switched Arsenal last summer is yet to feature for his new club having battled a long-standing injury to his right hamstring.

The 29-year-old if fully fit could come in handy for the Catalans as they chase down a treble of Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League glory.

"Five months after the injuring his right leg, FC Barcelona's Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen has received medical clearance. He underwent surgery back in December and will now be fully available for Luis Enrique in the home stretch of the season," the club confirmed on their official website.

"He was given the medical all-clear following Sunday morning's workout at the Ciutat Esportiva."

Vermaelen could return to action as early as Tuesday when Barcelona host Getafe at Camp Nou. Goal
