Dembélé continues his recovery from injury !

Barcelona have released another update on Ousmane Dembele, showing the summer signing in training as he closes in on a return to action.

The Frenchman had previously been effectively ruled out for the rest of the year but he is looking in pretty good shape according to the latest footage.

The doctor who operated on the forward, Sakari Orava, has explained to La Graderia on Cadena SER that the player's recovery is going better than expected.
"The recovery is going quicker than expected. He already said he wanted to come back before the planned date, but we don't know if that will be possible," Orava said.

And Orava has not ruled out Dembele playing in the Clasico against Real Madrid on Dec. 23. It seems unlikely given the demands, but it will depend on how things go. "Could he play against Madrid? Maybe, maybe... but I can't assure you of anything," he added.

Dembele's working hard to come back as soon as possible and it's hoped that this month he will be back with the ball at his feet.
