The Argentine scoffed at the rumour he could return to play for Barca now

On Saturday Barca suffered a big setback with Gerard Pique's injury, leaving just Clement Lenglet fit in central defence. 

Samuel Umtiti and Ronald Araujo are injured and Barca did not get Eric Garcia in the summer like they wanted. On El Chiringuito, personality Eduardo Inda reported that Javier Mascherano was contacted by Barca to return to the team as an emergency free transfer to help out. 

However the Argentine player, who recently retired, scoffed at the idea. "Pleassssseeeeee," he said, "there's no need."
