How many Barcelona games will Dembele miss with latest injury?t
The Frenchman was forced off against Girona
Ousmane Dembele was forced off due to injury in Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Girona on Saturday in what is a big blow to the Catalan giants.
Xavi offered a brief update on his attacker after the match after losing the Frenchman to what looked to be a muscular problem.
“Dembélé? I think there is a significant injury,” he said.
“It’s a shame, because he is one of the most decisive footballers for us, the most differential.
“We will see the tests, but he has noticed something. We hope it’s as little as possible, but he has noticed a quadriceps injury.”
The good news, if there is any, is that Dembele was able to walk off the pitch and then went to the bench, rather than going straight to the dressing room for treatment.
However, Dembele was spotted limping after the match.

It’s being reported that Dembele will miss the next 2-3 weeks which would rule out him out of La Liga games against Real Betis, Villarreal and Sevilla.
Dembele would also likely be doubtful for the first leg of the Europa League play-off against Manchester United at the Camp Nou on February 16.
Barcelona are likely to offer an update on Dembele over the weekend when we may get more of an idea of how much time he’ll miss.
Keep your fingers crossed.
