Dembele out for a month

[Barcaman]

It has been announced that Ousmane Dembele is injured again and will be sidelined for up to a month.

French forward picked up a hamstring injury in his left leg in the 4-2 win at Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Dembele, signed from Borussia Dortmund last year as a replacement for Neymar, was out for more than three months after rupturing a thigh tendon in his left leg on Sept. 16.

He had played only a few matches since fully recovering from surgery.

Barcelona says the injuries were not related.

The club also said Monday that Andres Iniesta has a right calf problem, but did not say how long the midfielder will be out.

Jesus, what is he made off? 150m guy who as it looks will not have much impact this season

 

[CanadianBlaugrana]

Agree with you vlad, bad ROI this season. As I stated in another forum, I'm hoping Ousmane Dembélé doesn't turn into a medical problem for us.

Apparently he played injured against Real Sociedad and left good impression on me. I say play him against Espanyol for 20 minutes next game.

It took Leonardo da Vinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa. It took Einstein 10 years to publish the Theory of Relativity.

Incredible brilliance takes time to show, and it will be same for Dembouz.

 

[iniesta_8]

LOL. For how many minutes did he play?

 

[JerseyAddict]

Again? That is fuckin disaster... When will he have time to play in the team scheme. He is needed for UCL.

 

[serghei]

Fix it right this time. He should sit 2 months out if he must but fix it.

 

[Nucky]

Just great. Get well soon Dembele!

EV plan to stick with 4-4-2.. so this might be planned for Coutinho to b on da field soon.

I personally do not like the 4-4-2
Suarez is not a 4-4-2 player, Dembele is not a 4-4-2 player.
I think its mostly due to our midfield beeing such a disaster Valverde is forced to play with 4, or atleast i hope so.

4-4-2 is the reason why we're the only undefeated team in Europe's top 5 league and no. 1 in La Liga. Suarez is the 2nd top scorer with 13 goals despite his struggle earlier this season.

Wasn't Messi a bit injury prone during his first 2 years with the first team?

If u were a talking abt the first half of the season Suarez, he is clearly not fit for a 442, because he was slow and uninspiring, but as he improved his match fitness and looked sharper ever since, 442 was clearly no problem for him. One thing that changed is Rakitic who was a disastrous RM at the first half of the season, became a DM/RCM which suited better for him.

But anyway, we have been switching between 433 and 442, particularly a 433 when counter attacking and 442 when defending and creating link up plays.

Yea, he was. Missed a lot of games in 2006 and early 2007.
