Ousmane Dembele angers Barcelona chiefs after turning up two hours late for training again
French wonderkid is already treading a fine line at the club following serious concerns about his attitude off the field
TROUBLED Barcelona superstar Ousmane Dembele angered Barcelona chiefs this morning by turning up two hours late for training.
The French wonderkid is already treading a fine line at the club following serious concerns about his attitude off the field.
Last month he was left out of the side for their Champions League clash against Inter Milan after skipping a team meeting.
A few weeks ago the 21-year-old was left out of the squad completely for a game against Real Betis after failing to show up to training.
And Dembele has further risked the wrath of manager Ernesto Valverde by rocking up late for a light session on Sunday following their 4-0 win over Espanyol on Saturday.
It comes just days before Barca's Champions League contest with Tottenham and the manager could punish the forward by leaving him out of the side.
Dembele, who lives near an infamous sex club as revealed by SunSport, joined the Nou Camp in a deal that could rise to £135.6million in the summer.
But his behavioural issues have seen him linked with an early move away from Spain.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal are believed to be closely monitoring his situation.
His Barcelona team-mate Nelson Semedo handed the Prem duo a blow by insisting that he is "fully committed" to the club.
