Recently he has been training with the first-team and, with Neil Lennon ready to ring the changes ahead of the Scottish Cup final, Dembele could make his bow.
Lennon said: “Karamoko Dembele is a possibility for Sunday. He’s training with the squad this week, as is Ewan Henderson. We’ve got boys that are carrying knocks and we don’t feel the need to risk them ahead of the cup final.”
