It has been a long time coming, but it has happened. Barcelona have successfully processed the registration of Vitor Roque as a first-team player in LaLiga.

In other words, the striker can now play in the domestic competition for his new club. This means that the striker could make his debut this Thursday at the Gran Canaria stadium.

Xavi has always trusted what he was told by the club. They assured him that the striker would be registered in time.

That's why he decided to take him to Las Palmas, assuming that the paperwork would be sorted out and he could have him available for the clash with the Yellows.

Vitor Roque's squad number

The youngster will be ready to make his debut as a Barcelona player and he will do so with the No.19, the number assigned to him by the Catalan club on his arrival.

The Barcelona squad for the match in the Canaries is made up of Inaki Pena, Ander Astralaga, Diego Kochen; Joao Cancelo, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Hector Fort; Oriol Romeu, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Ilkay Gundogan, Fermin Lopez; Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Joao Felix, Vitor Roque and Lamine Yamal.

Barcelona find themselves 10 points behind Real Madrid with a game in hand before they play Las Palmas, so the arrival of a new striker is extremely welcome for Xavi.
