The French head coach has insisted he will be cautious with the Blaugrana winger, but alarm bells will already be ringing in Catalonia after the latest dose of bad news.

Dembele played just over 10 minutes in France's UEFA Nations League win over Austria on Thursday, but didn't take a full part in training on Saturday and may be rested against Denmark on Sunday.

If Barcelona's fears are confirmed, Dembele would be another name on a growing list of players to pick up injuries in this international break.

Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde have already returned to Barcelona ahead of schedule for medical examinations.
