Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele limped off after just five minutes of their Liga game against Celta Vigo with a hamstring injury.

The club have confirmed the nature of the injury and have said the player will have scans on Sunday.

Dembele was playing as he attempted to return from another hamstring problem that saw him miss a month of action between March and April.

The extent of the injury is not known, but the

France international winger’s participation in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool on Tuesday must be in doubt.

Barcelona lead the tie 3-0 after the first leg.

Dembele has had a stop-start campaign already this year and only managed 24 appearances last season, his first at Camp Nou.

He has managed 43 games in all competitions for the Blaugrana this year, scoring 14 goals, but has missed time with a sprained ankle in addition to the hamstring injury.

“He’s not exactly the same as before his injury,” Valverde said.

“You have to go through games before finding your place. We’ll see.”

“He definitely offers us speed and if other teams play high he’s great on the counter. We can exploit that.

“He’s very good in one-on-ones as well.”

Dembele was signed by the Catalans from Dortmund for €105m (£89.4m/$117.7m) in the summer of 2017, and was seen as a replacement for Neymar, who left for PSG the same summer. (Goal)
