Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was forced off the pitch after just 25 minutes during Barca's 3-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Dembele was in tears as he walked off the pitch. Although the 22-year-old didn't need a stretcher, he was visibly uncomfortable as he went down the tunnel. This is his ninth injury since he joined the club in 2017.
Dembele's constant injuries is causing great concern to Barcelona who are yet to bear fruits of the 105 million pounds transfer they made in 2017. Messi underwent a similar ordeal back in 2004-2007 when he was subjected to constant injuries. Luis Suarez has now called for the team doctors to find a solution to Dembele's injury woes.
“The doctors have to try and find a solution to his injuries. They have to find out how he keeps getting injured after he has recovered. We hope he's back with us soon,” said Suarez.
Dembele was challenging for an air ball when he strained his thigh. The forward was seen in tears as he threw his boots in frustration possible at the thought having to miss more games.
Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid in a high-profile clash this weekend. Dembele is most likely to miss the match with Greizmann ready to replace. The Frenchman was the replacement for Dembele in their clash against Borussia and netted the third goal for Barcelona after Suarez and Messi had scored the first two.
