11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[cro-man]

So coutinho sucks and dembele is an injury prone great!! over 300m for nothing.... Time to consider a new winger as malcom seems not to be good enough and sell either cou or dembele if his injuries doesnt stop.

First Quarter Final rounds are on the 9th and 10th of April which is a couple of days under 4 weeks. Expect him to be back in time tbh.... even better if we got the round of games the week after which would be a full 5 weeks from now.

 

[Messi983]

He's only "injured" to miss NT games, good timing.

 

[El MeSSiaS]

Showing the incompetence of our management, is not like we had options to not risk him

 

[Leo_Messi]

Really dumb decision.

Anyways I expect him to be back before the CL quarters and IF we get an accessible team ...he could rest for the first leg.

The CL-quarterfinals will be played on the 2 or 3 April. That is 19 or 20 days away from now. The return legs the following week. If he is out for 1 month (30-31 days in other words more than 4 weeks) as the local media reports he will be out for both CL-quarterfinals legs.

Nope.

9/10 April: Quarter-finals, first leg
16/17 April: Quarter-finals, second leg

disgrace news, even he'll be back in time no way he'll have the confidence to play without any fear to injury again. Looks like the Messi cameo against PSG in 2013 when he compromised the rest of the season. Fuck

 

[ATLBarcaFan]

Well this sucks, the team is so much more dangerous with him in attack.

 

[KingLeo10]

He keeps defenders honest. No one fears Messi or Suarez's or Coutinho's (LOL) pace on the counter.

With Dembouz, they don't press forward that easily because he'll ruin you on the break.

I still think it's a timed 'injury' to prevent him from NT duties.

 

[Gari]

Will return last year, Dembele injured, Coutinho is good

 

[Leo_Messi]

Nope.

9/10 April: Quarter-finals, first leg
16/17 April: Quarter-finals, second leg

Well, usually quarter-finals are played in the first week of April so I thought that the same was the case this year. Might be due to there being no World Cups or EURO's this time around.

In any case it only helps as much as he MIGHT be ready for the quarter-finals return leg. He will still miss the first quarter-finals leg and he will be 100% rusty going into the quarter-finals return leg. If he is out for a month he will be back 2-3 days before the quarter-finals return leg.

Since this is a RELAPSE of his hamstring injury, him returning too soon once again, will END his season.

Such a great idea to risk a non-fit (100%) player yesterday.

this could also seem the case , he wasn't taken off the field and after the game he looked good on the field , hugging Messi and handshaking other players

 

[FCBfan22]

In hindsight, it was a stupid decision to play him yesterday, since he was not 100% anyways. But from the other perspective, he changed the game again. Hopefully he returns for the quarters.

 

[serghei]

We are managed by idiots. It's so clear.

 

[PhilS]

He'll miss two Liga games, maybe 3. Good thing Coutinho is perking up. Bad guy to lose, but this is the clubs deepest position.
