Barcelona: Fans not thrilled about Ousmane Dembele’s potential return
According to reports on from CAT Radio via Barca Centre on Twitter (also relayed by Tribuna), Ousmane Dembele is expected to return for Barcelona this weekend, as the club take on Granada in La Liga.
The France international hasn’t featured for the Catalans since the opening day defeat to Athletic Bilbao last month, but could feature for the Spanish champions this weekend, as they look to build on the recent 5-2 win over Valencia last Saturday.
In Dembele’s absence, 16-year-old winger Ansu Fati has seen a surprise rise in game-time and has impressed the Blaugrana by scoring two goals and providing one assist, per Transfermarkt.
Dembele’s potential return – alongside Lionel Messi, who featured off the bench midweek against Borussia Dortmund – could see Fati drop out of the team, however, which could perhaps be viewed as extremely harsh should it happen considering the teenager’s recent contributions.
@BarcaCentre tweeted the news of Dembele’s availability for this weekend’s clash against Granada, but these Barca fans are far from excited about the prospect of the 22-year-old returning..
That means no more Ansu in the first team.
