Barcelona coach Quique Setien is concerned about the club forward Ousmane Dembele’s fitness.

The French international hasn’t played for Catalan giants since November. Yet, he ruptured a tendon in his thigh during Monday’s training.

Speaking on the case, Setien said he is concerned about losing Dembele for up to five months.

He said: “I am worried about Dembele, not just as a footballer, but as a person because he is an extraordinary kid. I am gutted that he can’t play football for a number of months. He doesn’t deserve that because he is a great person. I care more about that than anything else.”

Barcelona boss has revealed that they could look for a new attacking option for emergency cases.
