Barcelona winger, Ousmane Dembele, will miss the next four weeks with a left hamstring problem.
Dembele moved to Barca from Borussia Dortmund last summer for an initial fee of €105million, but ruptured a tendon in September.
He resumed training in December and made his return in the Copa del Rey game at Celta Vigo.
Ernesto Valverde then started Barca’s league win over Levante and came on as a substitute in the return leg against Celta and against Real Sociedad on Sunday, when he sustained his latest injury.
“After the game against Real Sociedad, Dembele had a problem with his left thigh and tests have confirmed that the player has suffered a hamstring injury, although it does not affect the area operated on earlier in the season.
“The injury will mean he will be out for a period of around three to four weeks,” the club said in a statement on Monday.
