The Frenchman was in the players’ thoughts

Barcelona sent a message of support to Ousmane Dembele ahead of Saturday’s clash with Getafe at the Camp Nou.

Quique Setien’s team walked out on to the pitch wearing the Barcelona No.11’s shirt back to front before kick-off.

The gesture comes just days after Barcelona confirmed Dembele will miss the next six weeks after undergoing hamstring surgery in Finland.

Barcelona are expected to bring in a replacement for Dembele with Angel Rodriguez and Lucas Perez still the current favourites.
