Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde responds to Ousmane Dembele speculation

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde was asked about some of the speculation flying around concerning Ousmane Dembele after last night’s clash with Espanyol.

Spanish radio station Cadena SER have claimed Barcelona are concerned about his lifestyle away from the training pitch.

The club are apparently worried that he eats too much fast food which is making him more susceptible to injury.

There have also been suggestions that Dembele has been enjoying the Barcelona nightlife a little too much and is struggling to communicate with his team-mates.

Valverde was asked if he was worried about Dembele’s off-field behaviour and said the club are happy with the 20-year-old.
