Ousmane Dembele has emerged as a doubt for Sunday’s La Liga game against Real Mallorca at the Camp Nou as the forward is suffering from tonsillitis.
The winger missed training on Saturday along with Gerard Pique who continues to struggle with injury and may also sit out the visit from Javier Aguirre’s side.
Xavi confirmed at his pre-match press conference that Dembele is suffering from tonsillitis, although the squad list will not be released until tomorrow.
Dembele has started Barca’s last eight games in a row, for the first time in his Barca career, but may now be forced out of the starting XI.
