The forward injured his knee while playing for France at the weekend

Barcelona will be without Ousmane Dembele for the next four months after he injured his knee at Euro 2020 with France.

Dembele, 24, was taken off in the latter stages of France's draw with Hungary on Saturday and tests have confirmed he needs surgery.

"Following tests this morning on player Ousmane Dembélé, it has been confirmed that he has a dislocation of the biceps tendon in his right knee that will require surgical treatment," Barça announced on Tuesday.

"The French player is therefore out of Euro 2020, as confirmed this Monday by the French team."

Dembele is out of contract in 2022 and negotiations are ongoing over a new deal, with Barça keen for him to not leave for free next summer.
