Barcelona have suffered a huge injury blow as French international Ousmanne Dembele is set to be on the sidelines for a month due to injury.
Barcelona winger, Ousmane Dembele, has been a vital player for the team since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez and has played a crucial role in the team’s recent success. However, the news of his injury has come as a significant blow to the Blaugrana faithful.
In the match against Girona, Dembele was forced to leave the field after developing a problem in his left leg quadriceps during a race with Barcelona target Arnau Martinez. Further tests have revealed that the French international has suffered an injury to his rectus femoris of the left thigh. According to team physician
, Dembele is expected to be out of action for 4-5 weeks.
This is a significant loss for the team, as Dembele’s recent form has been exceptional. He scored the decisive goal in the crucial La Liga tie against Atletico Madrid, and his absence will be felt in the upcoming matches, including the Europa League knockout tie against Manchester United.
While the return of Robert Lewandowski will ease the blow, Dembele’s absence will be a significant loss for the team as he is currently the only in-form winger in the squad. The Blaugrana faithful will be hoping for a speedy recovery for the French winger and for him to return to the field as soon as possible.
