The forward came on for Alcacer against Getafe

He hadn't played since Jan. 14 win vs. Real Sociedad

Ousmane Dembele injured his hamstring against Real Sociedad on Jan. 14 and was ruled out for up to a month just four games after returning from a ruptured tendon -- the injuries were unrelated. 

The French forward returned to traning ahead of schedule last week and was named in the squad for Sunday's game against Getafe. 

Dembele, 20, began the game on the bench, but in the 60th minute he was brought on to the pitch for Paco Alcacer, with Barça struggling to break their visitors down. 

While on the pitch, he tried to open up space by taking players on down the right flank, although his lack of match action told. 

Barça were unable to find a way through Getafe's organisation and were held to second consecutive draw after last week's stalemate against Espanyol. 

They remain unbeaten in La Liga but Atletico Madrid are now within seven points of them, having been 11 back just two games ago.
