Will Dembélé end up on the bench? Barça’s big question

Dembélé is in the spotlight: L’Équipe asks whether the Barcelona player could end up watching matches from the bench.

The piece points to uncertainty around his role in the team, with his status as a starter looking potentially up for debate. There’s no confirmation yet on a change in the starting XI, but L’Équipe’s question suggests the coaching staff could make decisions that affect his minutes.

For Barcelona, the key issue is now whether Dembélé starts or is instead used as a rotational option depending on the match.
