Painful: FC Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembélé injured again immediately after return | Football

sport">According to the medical staff, the 24-year-old Frenchman is struggling with a muscle strain. Dembélé is not available for the time being for interim coach Sergi Barjuán, the temporary successor of the fired Ronald Koeman. The Frenchman suffered a knee injury at the European Championships last summer and had to undergo surgery. He was therefore missing in the first months of the season. Since his arrival to Barcelona in 2017, for a total of 145 million euros, Dembélé has regularly struggled with injuries.

sport">Sergiño Dest is also sidelined. The former Ajax player has a back injury. The Catalan team plays on Saturday for the Spanish league in Vigo against Celta. Barcelona are in ninth place in La Liga with 16 points from eleven games.

Xavi

sport">The club management wants to appoint Xavi as Koeman’s successor, but has yet to reach an agreement with Al Sadd, the trainer’s current employer. A delegation from Barcelona is currently negotiating in Qatar.
