LS could be...
This player is injured (since 30 oct.) the coach means that L.Fabiano could be the player the team needs. I guess the question was about the need to buy any new player in January, when the clubs can buy new player.
IE, if he recover there is no need to buy anyone, because he would be like a new player for the team.

I am just a supporter of FCP, so i hope it will be helpful.
