Having overcome the muscle problem in the femoral biceps of his left thigh which occurred against Lyon, Ousmane Dembélé is fit to play against Manchester United and will therefore be available for selection again for Ernesto Valverde.
After first team training at the 'Theatre of Dreams,' the setting for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League between United and Barça, the player was given the good news.
It was a light session on Tuesday evening, in an imposing stadium, and which took place after the press conferences of coach Ernesto Valverde and Gerard Piqué. Now the team can rest before what is sure to be a great match.

best thing is to rest him and see how the match goes, so when it's 60mins.. bring him on to cause problems with his pace and silky runs because united defenders will be getting tired then.. he could be our secret weapon tomorrow.

I don't think is worth taking the risk because the second leg is much more important then the first leg.Barca have enough strength in depth

Success in the Champions League can be attributed to the element of surprise. We risk Dembele during the first leg, we lose the element of surprise if he can play more fit for the return leg. There's a reason Valverde called him, I'm thinking be a reserve and study the ManUtd defense. Then, comes the second leg, we have Dembele being 'the mosquito'
