Philippe Coutinho is hoping Barcelona do not give up on him when they sign Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund, according to Sky sources.

The Brazil star's mood has been described to Sky Sports News as "very low at the moment", with his desired move to the Nou Camp having so far failed to materialise.

Coutinho has not turned out for Liverpool at all yet this season and Jurgen Klopp says he will not play at home to Arsenal on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League, because he still has a back problem.
