Dembele picks up first fine at Barcelona under Xavi?

Ousmane Dembele has reportedly become the first player to fall foul of new coach Xavi’s rules at Barcelona and could be hit with a fine.

The Frenchman turned up to training at 8.33am which is pretty early but still three minutes late according to Xavi’s new rules, reports ESPN.

Xavi is thought to want his players at training a full 90 minutes before the session begins so they can prepare and also have breakfast first.

Dembele could therefore become the first player under the new management to be hit with a fine unless Xavi’s willing to let him off this time.
