Just a couple of days after returning to action following a long-term injury, Ousmane Dembele picked up another knock as he suffered a strain in the semimembranosus muscle of his left hamstring.
Dembele will miss out on Barcelona’s game away at Celta Vigo on Saturday and the evolution of his injury will dictate his return.
Injuries have plagued Dembele’s career so far, with the Frenchman struggling to find consistency since joining the Blaugrana from Borussia Dortmund back in 2017.

Dembele suffered an injury during Euro 2020 that forced him to be sidelined until October, and he made his season debut with Barcelona away at Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday night.
However, two days later Barcelona released a statement to inform fans that the France international is injured again.
Since arriving at Barcelona, the 24-year-old forward has missed as many as 98 games due to various injuries or complaints and has undergone surgery three times. [Marca]
