Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde denies there's problems with Ousmane Dembele.
Dembele went missing and skipped training with Barcelona on Thursday and Valverde addressed the decision to leave him out of the squad to play Real Betis.
"It's not a punishment, everyone can take it how they like," the coach explained.
"Sometimes some go and other times it's others, tomorrow Dembele won't be there."
The latest misdemeanour has led to speculation surrounding the youngster's future.
"The talent that Dembele has is difficult to find and we have to help him to take advantage of it," he added.
"We want the best from every player in our team, Dembele has incredible talent and we want to help him to show it some day."
