BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona says that France forward Ousmane Dembele has a leg injury and is unfit to play just two days before its Champions League semifinal at Liverpool. The Spanish champions say on Sunday that tests have confirmed the initial report that Dembele injured a muscle in his right thigh early in Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Celta Vigo. This is Dembele’s fifth injury since joining Barcelona in 2017. Dembele, 21, has scored 14 goals in 42 appearances for Barcelona this season. Barcelona has already clinched the Spanish league title but will play Valencia in the Copa del Rey final on May 25.
