About Ousmane Dembélé

Forward Ousmane Dembélé has been cleared by the medical team and has been included in the squad for the Santander League match that Barcelona will play tomorrow at Camp Nou against Getafe.

The French international, who has been training at the same pace as his teammates for several days, has recovered from a hamstring tear in his left thigh, which is the second muscle injury of the season. Ernesto Valverde will be able to count on him for the second half of the season.
