Barcelona centre-back Thomas Vermaelen is closing on a return to fitness.

The Belgian international, who joined Barca from Arsenal earlier this month, has been unable to feature for his new side in pre-season due to a muscular injury.

However, a statement from the Catalan outfit has revealed that the defender is now back on the training pitch and has been undergoing individual sessions.
