The Barcelona boss talked about Ousmane Dembele, Lionel Messi and the possibility of Ansu Fati being called up by Spain for the Under-17 World Cup.

Here are the main talking points:

Valverde on Dembele

He has not yet trained with the group but today we hope he will return to full training. So far they [Dembele and Ansu] have not trained together. There is competition in the team and it will stay that way.
