Dembele steps up recovery work ahead of imminent Barça comeback
The French attacker hopes to be back for Tuesday's game against Real Valladolid
Ousmane Dembele remains on track with his recovery from a hamstring problem although he is still working on his own, not with the group.
However, he is now working with the ball again after injuring himself in the second half of the defeat to Cadiz two weeks ago.
Dembele could reappear before the end of the year, although coach Ronald Koeman will not take any risks with him due to his injury history.
The French forward will return to full training in the coming days and could come into consideration for the game at Real Valladolid on Tuesday.
Failing that, he could be available for the match against Eibar, Barça's last of 2020, on Dec. 29.
