Benched Coutinho still has big future at Barcelona - Guillermo Amor

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez netted the goals for Barcelona against Getafe as they extended their La Liga lead to five points. ESPN FC's Ligue 1 correspondent Julien Laurens shares the latest on Adrien Rabiot's future, amid links between the PSG midfielder and Barcelona. Barcelona director Guillermo Amor assured club-record signing Philippe Coutinho that he still has a big future at the club despite being left on the bench for the past four La Liga games. Coutinho, 26, has not started a league match since Dec. 2 and only came on for the final seven minutes as Barca won 2-1 at Getafe on Sunday.
