Valverde: Dembele could be back for Manchester United test

Ernesto Valverde says Ousmane Dembele could be fit to face Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Dembele has been out of action since he suffered a torn hamstring after coming off the bench against Lyon in the last round.

Valverde accepted he took a risk in playing Dembele in that game, the winger having been a pre-match injury doubt.

Dembele was expected to miss both legs of the quarter-final against United but returned to training earlier than expected.

And although Barcelona will not risk him for the visit of Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Saturday, Valverde suggested Dembele could face United.
