It's highly unlikely the French winger will be involved against Atletico Madrid and the medical team expect him to be back in contention for the match against Manchester United

FC Barcelona had hoped that Ousmane Dembele would be back for the crunch LaLiga match against Atletico Madrid this Saturday but hopes are fading fast and now it appears he'll return for the Champions League clash with Manchester United on the 10th April.

Injuries have been a thorn in Dembele's side at Barça and the current one has taken longer than expected to heal. Ernesto Valverde is aware of the situation and won't call up the Frenchman for the LaLiga encounter, according to 'AS'.

Barça don't want to make the same mistake and bring Dembele back too soon. He desperately wanted to be involved against Lyon, and scored, but finished the match complaining of a fresh injury. This has seen him sit on the sidelines since then.

It'll be up to Coutinho or Malcom to come into the side against Atletico. Although Valverde could switch up his system and leave both on the bench.
