Video: Ousmane Dembele is back in Barcelona

Ousmane Dembele returned to Barcelona earlier today and was immediately swarmed by media asking him about his thoughts on Lionel Messi’s departure.

The Frenchman did not say a word, but did pen a farewell message for the club captain yesterday saying it was a privilege to play alongside him.

Dembele has been out of action since the Euros group stage game against Hungary. The player had to be substituted out due to muscular discomfort, and now finds himself out for a considerable part of the season.

Last season, it seemed like the No.11 had grown past his injury woes. However, he once again finds himself struggling for fitness and fighting for a spot in the team.

Moreover, with the departure of Barcelona’s No 10, the youngster will have more pressure than ever on his shoulders.

Notably however, Ousmane Dembele did miss Lionel Messi’s farewell program which was attended by almost all players of the Catalan club.
