Barcelona coach Xavi is ready to recall Ousmane Dembele for Sunday's clash with Athletic Club.

The Frenchman could return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the match against Villarreal. A game where Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, the two wingers chosen by Xavi, had great performances.

Even so, Dembélé remains very important, says Xavi: "Perhaps we don't open up the field as much and play more inside.

"He has a unique talent. He has to try, even if he loses balls, I oblige him to take on defenders one-on-one in attacking areas of the field.

"This player, he's different from the others, he's unique. He has to dribble, try things, cross...".
