Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele will miss five weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in training on Monday.
It’s the latest setback for the 22-year-old who was coming off a season plagued by injuries.
The injury for the Frenchman comes at an unfortunate time for Barcelona, who are already without Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Messi missed the La Liga opener against Athletic Bilbao on Friday with a calf problem, while Suarez limped off in the first half against Bilbao, also with a calf problem, and is expected to be out of action for one month.
