Dani Alves tells Barcelona what to do with Ousmane Dembele

Dani Alves has told Barcelona to make the most of Ousmane Dembele and play the Frenchman while they still have him at the Camp Nou.

Dembele has been left out of Barca’s last two squads and there has been talk he could spend the rest of the season in the stands.

President Joan Laporta has said it’s up to Xavi to decide if Dembele plays, and Alves made it clear he thinks the forward should be recalled.

“We have to be more intelligent than the situation and take advantage of the player we have with us,” he said.
