The French forward has a hamstring injury and is out for five weeks

Ousmane Dembele did not listen to Barcelona's medics' desire to look at his leg after suffering pain there last Friday, instead of attending a meeting with the medics on Saturday he disappeared until Monday, per Marca.

A situation which created surprise among the medics and the board. The club confirmed on Monday that Dembele is out for five weeks with a hamstring injury.

The player decided to fly to Senegal on a private jet, ignoring the recommendation from the doctors to go to the medical services. 

Ernesto Valverde has backed Dembele to be important this year, in his third season, but this is another act of indiscipline for a player who has previously been told off for sleeping and not attending training.
