Xavi doesn't rule out Dembele for Benfica game

In the press conference ahead of the game against Benfica, Xavi was asked whether Ousmane Dembele could be available for the clash.

"It depends on how he feels tomorrow, what we don't want is for him to get injured. Especially with the players that are about to recover [like Sergi Roberto and Sergino Dest]. I am guided a lot by the feelings of the footballers, let's see. If they could help us, it would be important," the coach responded.

Dembele around four months following a knee injury in the summer. He returned for the game against Dynamo Kyiv before the international break only to suffer another injury the same week.

As for Dest and Roberto, they both missed Barcelona's previous game (although Sergi was on the bench), but it looks like they could be available too.
