Ousmane Dembele
Ernesto Valverde has laughed off reports that Ousmane Dembele arrived at Barcelona training late yet again.
The France international was on form as Barcelona beat Espanyol 4-0 in the derby but it was his discipline that made the headlines again as he reportedly turned up two hours late for training on Monday morning.

“I knew you were going to ask about Dembele. It’s true that some things have happened, we will try to solve things internally, and there’s not much more to say about this.
“It is a new situation, and we want to help this player, because he has great talent, and we want to help him make the most of it.
“These are questions about an internal matter, he’s a player who gives us a lot of things in the field, but in the same way that others contribute a lot on the pitch. We all have to follow some guidelines here.
“You win the derby 4-0 and everyone says it’ll be relaxing, it’s sunny outside and you hope nothing crazy happens. This is an internal issue, we will resolve it internally, and I’ve said that four times.”
