FC Barcelona: Ousmane Dembele towards a five-week absence?

Xavi was right to fear the injury of Ousmane Dembélé, injured against Girona last Saturday (1-0). According to The team, the French international will be sidelined for five weeks, although the medical staff of the Catalan club hopes to reduce this period. “But taking no unnecessary risks“, however, specifies the daily in today’s edition.

Given his injury, Dembélé should therefore miss the double confrontation against Manchester United in the Europa League, scheduled for February 16 and 23. A blow for Xavi, who has always had great confidence in “Dembouz”, author of 10 goals and 20 assists in 59 matches since taking office. The Barça coach will now have to do without it for the next few weeks. The team recalls that the former Dortmund player has already missed 102 matches since joining Barcelona in 2017.
