Barcelona is not doing too badly. They have won their last eight games. In their last game, they beat Girona 1-0, which kept them at the top of the La Liga points table. Between then and now, the Catalan club took a big hit. The French forward on the team, Ousmane Dembele, is hurt.
During the game against Girona, Dembele hurt his foot. He got hurt in the first half and had to leave the field. It is thought that he will be hurt for the next three weeks and won’t be able to play again. Dembele will miss the first leg of the Europa League match against Manchester United because of this.
The play-off game between Barça and United will be on February 16. This game is very important for Barcelona’s chances of making it to the last 16 of the Europa League. On February 23, the next leg match between the two teams will take place.
Dembele, who often gets hurt, has been healthy for a long time. Since the World Cup in Qatar, he has also been in great shape. But now he can feel his forehead burn. It’s enough to wonder if he can get back into the same rhythm he had before he got hurt.
This season, the French star has scored 8 goals in 28 games for Barcelona.
