Ousmane Dembele is back in Barcelona after a first round of injury treatement in Qatar.

The France attacker has suffered a third muscular injury in four months for Barca, breaking down in the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Cadena SER says Dembele has spent some time in Qatar at the Aspetaher clinic of Doha and touched down back in Spain on Sunday.

Barca management do not expect to see the winger again until well into the New Year, though have been quick to rubbish claims the latest injury is due to Dembele's poor off the field habits.

Coaching staff are happy with the approach of Dembele this season and insist his latest injury setback is just bad luck.
