Ousmane Dembele in light training as Barcelona ace targets comeback against Real Madrid
OUSMANE DEMBELE has returned to light training with Barcelona ahead of a potential comeback against Real Madrid next month.
Ousmane Dembele has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury
Dembele suffered a serious hamstring injury against Getafe in September, but looks to be nearing a return to the Barcelona first-team ahead of schedule.
The French forward arrived at the Nou Camp from Borussia Dortmund for £96million last summer, but was sidelined just three weeks after completing the move.
Dembele and Barcelona have both posted pictures and videos of the 20-year-old completing some light jogging drills at the club’s training ground as his recovery continues.
While initial reports suggested Dembele could be out for up to three-and-a-half months, Spanish newspaper Marca have claimed the youngster could make his comeback against Real Madrid on December 23.
