Barca have got a friendly this Saturday versus Nastic which could be useful to Koeman in deciding who deserves to stay at the club.
The Dutchman is going to give opportunities to all of his footballers and so Dembele will get his chance. The casual Barca fan may not even remember him playing.
Ousmane Dembele has not played for 290 days. His last appearance came in the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on 27th November 2019. That was on matchday five of the group stage.
He lasted just 26 minutes due to a muscle injury and in February he suffered a relapse, but he has put that behind him now. He will get another chance to show his worth.
'AS' reports that Koeman will give him some game time against Nastic to try and see how he is progressing as he has only seen him in training.
It will be a chance to try and win over the club and fans again. Some thought he would be brilliant after Neymar's departure, but that has yet to happen.
