Barcelona have been dealt a blow after it was revealed that Ousmane Dembele is likely to miss the rest of the season.
The France international has been plagued by injuries since his arrival at Camp Nou in 2017, making just 49 starts and 25 substitute outings in all competitions.
The 22-year-old had been hoping to return from his most recent layoff in the coming weeks after recently returning to training.
However, Barcelona have revealed that Dembele has suffered a torn hamstring, which Marca claims will keep him sidelined until the summer.
The development comes at the wrong time for Quique Setien, who is already having to cope without first-choice striker Luis Suarez.
The Catalan giants failed to bring in a short-term replacement for the Uruguay international in January.
