Reporter provides injury update on Dembele -- it's quite worrying

According to the fresh update from Mundo Deportivo's Fernando Polo, Ousmane Dembele will be out of action for as long as five weeks.

Hence, the Frenchman is likely to be ruled out of both legs in Barca's Europa League tie against Manchester United.

Dembele suffered a partial tear in quadriceps in his left thigh and was forced off the pitch early in the Girona game.

Until yesterday, he had not suffered a major injury since November 2021 and stayed fit ever since Xavi's takeover, becoming one of the key players in his squad.
