Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has confirmed midfielder Ousmane Dembele could missChampions League quarter-final clash againstManchester United.
The Frenchman resumed training on Friday morning but Valverde has revealed the midfielder won't be available for selection when Barca takes on Atletico on Saturday 6th.
"He is not going to be available tomorrow and we do not know if he will be on Wednesday either," Valverde said of Dembele, who has not featured since March 13, in a press conference on Friday.
"We don't want to risk him, either tomorrow or Wednesday and then have a bigger problem in the matches that are coming up. We will see how he is doing. For sure, tomorrow he will be out."
Valverde's focus
"We will give it everything, even knowing that we have a crucial game coming up afterwards. The best way to prepare for that match is by doing well in this one."
The Catalans sit eight points clear of second-placed Atlético at the top of La Liga.
