The Coutinho’s injury It has opened the doors of ownership to Ousmane Dembélé, who returned to Eibar after three weeks without being able to play due to a muscle injury.

Also returns Jordi Alba after he served a penalty game for accumulating yellow cards, and Messi who was out due to ankle discomfort.
