Barcelona coach Xavi admits they've missed Ousmane Dembele.

The France attacker has struggled with injury this past month.

Ahead of facing Real Betis this weekend, Xavi said: "It has been a matter of feeling. He has been kicked, more difficult to heal, it has a logic that has lasted longer than we wanted.

"He is animated, happy. We will see if he comes out from the start.

"Of course we have missed Dembl. There is no footballer equal to another. We have missed Andreas (Christensen), Sergi Roberto now. We don't have another footballer who can improve Ousmane's one-on-one, and there are few in the world. We can do a survey of the fulbacks of the LaLiga to see what they think. His 1 1 generates fear in the opponent, makes him doubt. Has tremendous speed. It's so differential I've said it since day one."
