Ousmane Dembele forced off with injury against Celta Vigo

Barcelona suffered an injury blow early on in their La Liga clash against Celta Vigo on Saturday as Ousmane Dembele was forced off with injury.

The Frenchman was named in the starting XI but lasted only a few minutes before picking up a problem and being replaced by Alex Collado.

The 21-year-old then went and sat on the bench where he had an ice pack strapped to his thigh.

It’s not clear how serious the injury is right now and we might get more of an idea after the game.

However, it certainly looks unlikely he will be in the starting XI for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Liverpool.
