Ousmane Dembele expected to miss France vs Portugal

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele is expected to miss France’s final Euro 2020 group game against Portugal on Wednesday after suffering a fresh injury setback.

The forward, who only came on as a substitute in Saturday’s draw with Hungary, had to be taken late off after picking up a problem.

Didier Deschamps confirmed after the match it was a knee tendon injury that would require further testing.

According to L’Equipe, Dembele will miss the match against Portugal and could potentially also be unavailable for the last 16.

France top Group F ahead of the final round of games but face a tricky test next against Portugal who were beaten by Germany last time out.
