FC Barcelona has to give up Ousmane Dembélé for the time being. Ex-dortmunder stays haunted by injury. The lesion comes at a bitter time.
As if FC Barcelona’s 1:2 embarrassment with promoter FC Cadiz had not already been bad enough, the Blaugrana already has the next job message to report a day later.
As Barca announced on Sunday afternoon, Ousmane Dembélé contracted a strain of the posterior thigh muscles in the right leg.
As a result, the former BVB player will be eliminated for the time being and is unlikely to be available for Barcelona’s Champions League game next Tuesday against Juventus Turin.
The club did not say how long Dembélé will be absent.
Especially bitter: The offensive player had presented himself with strong performances in recent weeks. But now Dembélé injured himself again. In total, he has been missing Barca in 80 competitive matches since his move in the summer of 2017.
