DBasia.news – Ousmane Dembele only appeared for 26 minutes in Barcelona’s Spanish La Liga match against Girona before having to be replaced by Pedri. The Frenchman carefully hobbled his way off the court, clutching to his leg.
Barcelona are top of the La Liga table with Dembele playing a big role in their success. He has five goals and five assists in the league this season, and his form has been outstanding, making him almost irreplaceable for Xavi.
With Dembele in good form, an extended absence could spell trouble for Xavi. While Dembele and Robert Lewandowski have been doing well, the other players in attack haven’t done anything more promising.
The Blaugrana had six matches in 23 days, which ended with a duel against Manchester United in the Europa League. The extent of Dembele’s injury is still unknown, but Xavi hopes he can participate in some part against the Red Devils.
