Barcelona have confirmed that Ousmane Dembele, will miss up to four months with a hamstring injury.
The 20-year-old suffered the injury in their 2-1 win over Getafe on Saturday, which was his full La Liga debut.
After conducting tests on Sunday, Barca released a statement which read: “The tests have come back following first team player Ousmane Dembele has ruptured the tendon in his femoral bicep in his left thigh.
“The player will be operated on by Dr. Sakari Orava in Finland this week. He is expected to be out for between three and a half months and four months.”
Dembele will miss the first half of the season, in a huge blow to the Catalans who paid an initial €105million to Borussia Dortmund for the France winger.
Barca, who have won all four of their La Liga matches to start the new season, have clashes against Eibar, Girona, Sporting CP and Las Palmas before the next international break.
