Whistles and no clear direction for Dembele Barcelona The Camp Nou jeered the Frenchman

Ousmane Dembele produced another below-par performance in Barcelona's 0-0 draw against Slavia Prague and he was whistled when he left the pitch for Ansu Fati.

Ernesto Valverde gave him an opportunity to show what he could do, but he didn't manage to get much right in the 64 minutes that he played.

Dembele could neither penetrate Slavia's high defensive line nor combine with his teammates, apart from several passes to Nelson Semedo.

Competition up front is tough at Barcelona, with several quality forwards lining up for a spot in the starting XI and the Frenchman seems to be dropping down in Valverde's pecking order.

It is unclear whether Luis Suarez will be back from his injury for Saturday's match against Celta Vigo, but it's doubtful if the coach will be willing to give Dembele a second consecutive chance.

The former Borussia Dortmund forward has registered six appearances so far this season - having started in half of them - and he has scored just one goal in a total of 324 minutes.
