Barcelona on Thursday announced that Ousmane Dembele may not be in the pitch on April 6 when the team will be meeting with Atletico Madrid.
This is as a result of the hamstring strain the Frenchman appears to have sustained during the win over Rayo Vallecano last weekend.
He will be out for at least a month and could, thus, miss Barcelona’s upcoming league matches against Real Betis, Espanyol and Villarreal.
The game at the Camp Nou could prove decisive for Barca, who already sit seven points clear of Diego Simeone’s side, their closest challengers at the top of the table.
“The tests performed have confirmed that Dembele has a muscle injury in his left hamstring,” a Barcelona statement read.
“The approximate time out will be three to four weeks.”
