Alcacer joined Barcelona from Valencia during the close season to provide cover for the Catalans' attacking trident of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
The 23-year-old has yet to score for his new club, though, and put in a disappointing performance in the 2-1 Champions League win over Borussia Monchengladbach in midweek.
Nevertheless, Luis Enrique sees no reason for concern just yet and is happy with Alcacer's contribution.

"Paco is doing everything I want of him and, even though he is still adapting, he is doing it perfectly," Luis Enrique said at a news conference.
"It is key that the squad knows Paco can do a job for the team.
"He arrived at the end of pre-season which makes things difficult but I'm pleased. Alcacer has been wonderful, he has been almost perfect.
"I am happy with his performances."
