Barcelona legend Carles Puyol has called on Ousmane Dembele to get serious about his career.

Puyol has suggested Dembele needs to reflect on his actions over the past few weeks.

Despite many predicting a Camp Nou exit for the Frenchman, Puyol believes the situation is recoverable.

"Dembele is young, I'm not in the dressing room and I don't know the day to day," he said to reporters.

"The team have to help him because it's not easy to adapt to the philosophy of Barcelona where everything is very different.

"Here he's arrived late to training and he must learn that isn't good enough.

"He has good teachers who will help him, but it will depend on his attitude.

"It's important that he reflects and thinks about things, because when you're young you don't realise what you are letting go."
