In the worst case scenario, the French winger won't be back until the second leg of the Champions League quarter final

Ernesto Valverde won't have Ousmane Dembele available for the next 3-4 weeks due to a hamstring injury. Fortunately for Barça, with an international break coming up, it limits the amount of matches the French man is likely to miss.

The games which Dembele is certain to miss are the LaLiga matches against Betis (17/3) at the Villamarín, Espanyol (30/3) at the Camp Nou, Villarreal (02/4) at the Estadio de la Cerámica and Atlético de Madrid (06/4) at the Camp Nou. Four important matches as Barcelona look to maintain their lead in the domestic competition.

If he returns at the lower end of the estimate, in three weeks, he could be available for the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals. Should caution prevail, he'd miss that contest (9-10/4) and it would then be a question of whether he returns for the match against Huesca (14/4) or the second leg of the quarter final (16-17/4).

30/3   LaLiga          Barça-Espanyol

2/4     LaLiga           Villarreal-Barça
