Luis Suarez has fired a warning to Barcelona teammate Ousmane Dembele.

The talented Frenchman secured a big, big money transfer to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund following the clubs mega sale of Neymar in 2017.

But Dembele has failed to make an impression at Barcelona. He's yet to replicate his form at Dortmund.

There's even talks of Dembele leaving Camp Nou despite only arriving last year.

Amid speculation surrounding his future, Suarez has issued a message to him.

"I think being a footballer is a privilege. I think he should focus on football, and take inspiration from the exemplary professionals in the Barcelona dressing room," he said during Uruguay's press conference.

Suarez, who's been at the club since 2014, is one of the more experience campaigners at Barcelona, and he's hoping to get the best out of Dembele ahead of the rest of the 2018/19 season.

What's more, the 21-year-old reportedly suffers a gaming disorder.

Yes, you read that right. According to AS, Dembele had missed his training session due to a late night of gaming with his friends.

Due to his late sessions, the World Cup winner would forget to set his alarm for the morning, in which he would later tell the club that he missed training because of illness.

Unsurprisingly, it meant that the club doctor would have to make his way around Dembele's home to check up on him, mainly to ensure to Barcelona senior management that he had been cleared of illness.

The Spanish club now believes that he suffers from a gaming disorder and that it is affecting his relationship with other players and his performances.
