Barcelona coach Xavi says Ousmane Dembele could be involved against Champions League opponents Benfica tonight.

Dembele has been battling with his latest injury setback.

But Xavi says he may play against Benfica if he feels right in training.

“It depends on his sensations," said Xavi. “We don't want the players to get injured. I'm guided by how the player feels. It's important for us for Dembele to be there.

“We'll see how he is because sometimes you have to take a risk, we'll have to see, like others he's at the point of coming back."

The coach said that the players with some knocks from the 1-0 win over Espanyol - Nico Gonzalez, Sergi Busquets, Oscar Mingueza - are fit.

“All those taken off will arrive for tomorrow, I don't think there's a problem with them."
