Ousmane Dembele made his first La Liga start against Getafe, but he barely lasted 25 minutes. The French forward picked up an injury and had to be replaced.

Dembele had to come off due to a problem with his hamstring. After a run forward and a backheel pass at the byline, he placed his hand behind his leg and went to ground.

The winger was making only his second start for Barcelona, but it did not last long. The medical staff rushed onto the pitch and the youngster limped off.

Valverde reacted by bringing on Gerard Deulofeu for the injured Dembele, who will be examined later in the day.
