Barcelona have allowed Rustu Recber to rejoin Fenerbahce on loan.

Barcelona have allowed Rustu Recber to rejoin Fenerbahce on loan.

The Turkey international spent last season with his former club and will now return for the 2005/06 campaign.

Recber had only recently headed back to Barcelona after his stint with Fener and was due to fly out for the club's pre-season tour of the Far East.

But the goalkeeper had already been warned by Barca coach Frank Rijkaard that he would not figure in his plans for the new campaign.

He was recently offered a contract by Fener, who have been keen to re-sign the 32-year-old on a permanent basis.

Instead, the shot-stopper has been loaned out again by Barcelona, with Recber's contract at Camp Nou running until 2007.
