Dembélé rejoins the squad

Ousmane Dembélé has returned to FC Barcelona after helping France to second place at the World Cup and then enjoying a short Christmas break, which he cut slightly short to ensure he is properly prepared for the return of Liga action this weekend. He is the latest of a series of players to have reported back for duty under Xavi Hernández after being away in Qatar competing for his country. This Saturday 31 December at 2.00 pm CET, local rivals Espanyol will be the first guests at Spotify Camp Nou after the restart of the club season.
