Barcelona fans in joyous mood ahead of their must win La Liga game against Sevilla after they receibe this positive news. According to All Football, following Sevilla’s victory in the Europa League over Lazio on Wednesday night, the club has released statements on the injuries suffered by two key players Sergio Escudero and Jesús Navas. Both are considered serious doubts for this weekend’s match against FC Barcelona in LaLiga. Escudero is the most likely of the two to be ruled out. He was taken off in just the sixth minute after he felt pain in his hamstring. Due to him needing to be replaced, the defender is expected to miss a few weeks of action.

As for Jesus Navas, who completed the match but was clearly in discomfort, Sevilla are still waiting the test results. Navas might be fit enough for a place on the bench but it appears unlikely he will start against Barça. Sevilla haven’t won in their last four LaLiga matches (3 defeats, 1 draw) but remain in fourth position, one point ahead of Getafe.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have been fairly consistent in LaLiga Santander this term and one of the major reasons for that has been the continued improvement shown by Ousmane Dembele as he continues to win over his critics in Catalonia. Signed for 105 million euros to replace Neymar, Dembele struggled initially at the Camp Nou as he endured an injury-hit debut season. A failure to perform consistently after his recovery saw rumours emerge linking the former Borussia Dortmund star with a loan move away from the Catalan giants, however the 2018/19 season has seen him elevate his game to a new level.

Barcelona may well have been concerned about his off-field behaviour, but since being whistled by his own fans in the first league meeting with Sevilla this season, Dembele has arguably become the most important part of Los Cules’ attack after Lionel Messi. In 29 matches this term, Dembele has started 22 of them and has scored 13 goals, surpassing his previous best record in a single campaign.
With his missed training sessions now firmly in the rear-view mirror for those in power at the club, so are his previous poor performances in the eyes of the fans. Those who whistled him against Sevilla previously now cheer him, and it’s now a shock when the French international isn’t included in Ernesto Valverde’s starting line-up.
