Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembélé has reportedly returned to training one week early, in a bid to impress ahead of the new season.

Dembélé missed the end of last season with a hamstring injury and failed to recover in time for France’s Euro 2020 qualifiers in June.

But according to Cadena SER, the 22-year-old took part in a full session on Monday and even requested the use of a personal trainer.

Bayern Munich have been linked with Dembélé but Barça president Josip Maria Bartomeu insisted last week that he is going nowhere.

The Frenchman could be impacted with Antoine Griezmann expected to join, but is clearly intent on proving his credentials early on.

Dembélé scored 14 goals and assisted nine in 42 appearances last season.
