• Coutinho. "I hope to be at Bayern for many years"

Ousmane Dembelé, Barcelona striker, will be about five weeks off due to a fibrillar rupture in the biceps femoris of the left thigh , the Barca club said tonight in a statement. The extent of the injury has been known after the player was subjected to the relevant tests that have confirmed his ailment.

A complete setback for Ernesto Valverde , a coach of the Barcelona team, who also cannot count Uruguayan Luis Suarez after being injured last Friday in San Mamés in the opening game of LaLiga Santander, in which he fell to Athletic (1-0).

The Uruguayan battering injury, with a physical problem in the soleus of the right leg, almost discards it until after the first league stop by the selections, which will occur between the third and fourth day.

In addition, he is waiting to check the physical evolution of Lionel Messi , who already missed the league debut, on Friday in San Mamés. It is hoped that he may be recovered for the clash against Betis.

Barcelona has also detached another player from the attack, the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho , who this Monday morning signed a year of assignment with Bayern Munich.

It is Dembele's sixth injury since his arrival. In the premiere, he was a starter and must be one of the important men in the Extremaduran technical schemes. The matches against Betis, Osasuna and Valencia will surely be lost. I could return, if the deadlines are met, in the New Los Cármenes against Granada, on the fifth day.
