Barca injury woes deepen as Dembele joins Messi and Fati on sidelines

Barcelona’s growing injury list has been added to with forward Ousmane Dembele ruled out of their game with Getafe on Saturday with a thigh issue.

The 22-year-old French winger has only played a game and a half in La Liga this season due to a hamstring injury, but did manage 45 minutes in the recent 2-1 win over Villarreal.

However, a club statement confirmed he was suffering 'muscular discomfort' in his left thigh, meaning he joins Lionel Messi and teenage sensation Ansu Fati in being out of contention for the Getafe match.
