Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele has been ruled out of action for three months after picking up a knee injury whilst on international duty for France at Euro 2020.
According to ESPN, Dembele has been ruled out of Euro 2020 and is set to spend three months on the sidelines to recover from his latest injury.
The winger's four seasons at Barcelona have been plagued by hamstring injuries. Dembele is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines once again after picking up a knee injury in France's 1-1 draw with Hungary in their second group game of Euro 2020.
Ousmane Dembele has dislocated the biceps tendon in his right knee. Barcelona confirmed that the Frenchman would require surgery.
Ousmane Dembele has made 118 appearances for Barcelona in his four seasons with the club after joining the Catalans from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth €105 million.
The 24-year-old was expected to be the ideal replacement for Neymar, who left the club to join PSG. Despite showing glimpses of his potential and brilliance, injuries and off-field disciplinary issues have hampered Dembele's progress at Barcelona.
Dembele was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United last summer but rejected the move at the eleventh hour. The French winger opted to stay at Barcelona and fight for his place under Ronald Koeman.
Ousmane Dembele enjoyed a renaissance last season. He scored 11 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona and became one of the key members of Ronald Koeman's starting line-up.
The former Borussia Dortmund star currently has just one year remaining on his contract with Barcelona. Despite being linked with a move to Manchester United and Juventus, reports have suggested that Barcelona are desperate to keep hold of the Frenchman.
