Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba has welcomed Ousmane Dembele's return to full fitness.

Dembele made his first LaLiga start for Barca in victory over Levante since a September hamstring injury.

Alba said: "He has great balance, we do not know if he's a left-sided or right-sided player, and then he has tremendous speed," said Alba.

"He is adapting perfectly and he is a great guy, we also have to be patient because he is very young, but he will give us a tremendous leap, he has tremendous conditions, we are talking about a spectacular player and he will gradually improve his performance."
