Dembele made his first appearance for Barcelona since September

Ousmane Dembele made his return to action following a lengthy spell on the sidelines in Barcelona’s 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey.The 20-year-old, who tore his hamstring in his third appearance for Barcelona following a €105 million August arrival from Borussia Dortmund, played the final 20 minutes of Barça’s cup tie.With the Blaugrana boasting a healthy lead at the top of La Liga, and through to the last-16 of the Champions League, the last thing their rivals wanted to see was the return of one of Europe’s brightest young talents.“Recovering Ousmane is very positive for us,” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said before Thursday’s tie, per the Mail.“He was injured when he was adapting, he is an important player, we have him for this month of January.“We always want, in situations of these, that there is a small pre-season, but in competition that is not possible, it is what we have and we will have to adapt.”

Hopefully now we get to see MSD - the acronym for Barcelona’s vaunted attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Dembele - in action for a prolonged period of time.

Dembele received a lovely reception upon his return by two teammates - Suarez and fellow France international teammate Kylian Mbappe - on social media.

Suarez posted an image on his Instagram Story of Dembele as he was about to come on, writing: "He is back ðŸ‘ðŸ’ª”.

Paris Saint-Germain's Mbappe took to Twitter to write: “He’s back ðŸ˜âœŠðŸ½ @Dembouz”.
