The Barcelona winger had a complete hamstring tear and is out for the forseeable
Ousmane Dembele is out again. The French winger suffered a complete hamstring tear and is set to take surgery on it, which will rule him out for the foreseeable future.
Barcelona's medical services reported the injury on Tesday. From then they have been evaluating what is the best route to take for the Barca forward. This time a conservative recovery will be ruled out and he will go under the knife.
Dembele took surgery in 2017 when he had a similar injury, with the recovery process taking 106 days. He had the operation in Finland then. This time it could take place in Qatar, where he has done a lot of recovery work already after his previous injury that he still had not returned from. He went there after recommendation from Samuel Umtiti, who was treated for knee problems there.
Barcelona could sign a replacement as an emergency if he is out for five months. So Barcelona are waiting for the final report on Dembele before trying to do that.
