Alarm bells went off in the Catalonian capital on Monday after Barcelona star forward Ousmane Dembele was forced to leave practice early after suffering what has been described as a setback in his return from a leg injury.

The French forward has missed the majority of the 2019-20 season for Barcelona due to hamstring issues. The left winger hasn’t played for the reigning La Liga champions since his team’s 2-1 win over Leganes on November 23rd.

Dembele left Monday’s training session after experiencing what the club described as “muscle fatigue.” However, it seems fair to expect that this injury might set the 22-year-old even further back in his return to the pitch.

He was expected to rejoin Barcelona on the pitch this month, but this now seems in doubt.

This is just another one in a long line of frustrations that FC Barcelona has dealt with during Dembele’s tenure with the club. After signing him for nearly $150 million back in August 2017 from Borussia Dortmund, Dembele has at times looked a world-class talent and has at other times looked like an injury-prone flop.

In any case, new Barcelona boss Quique Setien has expressed his confidence in the French international’s ability and is hoping that he will return to the pitch sooner rather than later.

Tottenham Hotspurs needed a draw at Camp Nou to advance to the Champions League knock out stages on Tuesday while Liverpool had to win to get the spot. At the end of the night, both premier league clubs achieved what looked like unlikely achievements.

Lucas Moura’s 85^th-minute equalizer booked a round-of-16 spot for Spurs in a night Barcelona had rested key players like Luis Suarez, Ter Stegen and Gerald Pique. Lionel Messi also started on the bench but played in the second half.

Ousmane Dembele opened the score sheet for Barcelona early in the game and then concentrated on their defense. Spurs, on the other hand, made a series of attacks but failed to score in 16 shots at the goal. Moura entered the game as a substitute, fired in a header but was ruled off as offside. With 5 minutes left, he shot another, this time scoring.

Liverpool came into Tuesday’s game needing a clear 1-0 goal or with a margin of two goals or more. At the end of the night, Mohammed Salah was the difference as his shot went past goalkeeper David Ospina to seal the deal in the 34^th minute.

The Reds had chances to extend the margin but Ospina either saved or the players wasted clear chances. Toward the end of the game, Napoli almost equalized but keeper Alisson came to the team’s rescue.

France and Denmark played out to a 0-0 draw in the World Cup. The match was the first 0-0 draw of the 2018 World Cup and it also saw both team’s advance out of their group. France advance as group winners while Denmark advance as runners-up.

The two teams struggled to create chances during the first-half and the only entertaining action came when Ousmane Dembele struck a shot over the goal towards the end of the first-half.

France, who were already qualified for the last-16 before kick-off, appeared to not be prioritizing the game as they used it as an opportunity to rest many of their key players. Though it was Denmark who needed something from the game to advance, they were handed a favor by Peru who went on to defeat Australia 2-0. Prior to kickoff, Australia had a chance to advance to the last 16 if they defeated Peru and France defeated Denmark.
