Ousmane Dembele may not be ready in time for Barcelona’s Champions League group stage match against Inter on Wednesday night, according to manager Ernesto Valverde.
Dembele has recently been struggling with a hamstring injury but was originally named in the squad that travelled to Getafe on Saturday. However, at the last minute he was left out, with Valverde putting the decision down to caution rather than necessity.
Speaking to the press about the decision via Marca, he said: “It’s true that I left him out of the squad. It was more as a precaution. He told me that he is calm.
