Ousmane Dembele has been pivotal for Xavi Hernandez’s side so far this season, as such, this is surely a big blow for the Catalan giants.

Option A
The first option is to play with just 2 attackers upfront. This could be in a 4-4-2 formation or in a 3-5-2 formation.
The duo of Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati could form a partnership in this setup.
Option B
Another option for the team is to retain the 4-3-3 formation. In this case, Ferran Torres will be played on the left wing while Raphinha is played wide on the right.
Robert Lewandowski should keep his spot as a center-forward in this setup.
