Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde is eager to see his players pushing eachother.

Valverde gave his thoughts on Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho, who have been competing for minutes.

"The idea is that [Dembele] gradually gets his form back," the coach explained.

"Whenever you pick up an injury you are never the same as you were before.

"We will have to see how he goes in the next few matches.

"Both Dembele and Coutinho are very important players for us.

"When one plays the other doesn't and vice-versa."
