Is it naive or lack of resourcefulness, or rather a combination of both? This was the victim of French world champion Osman Dembele, Barcelona striker when he thought he could hide his injury.
Unfortunately for Barcelona's Osman Dembele in the first week of La Liga, in the 81st minute of the Catalan game against Bilbao, the French international was forced to leave the pitch due to injury.
The Spanish newspaper Marca revealed that the former Dortmund player was asked by the medical staff immediately after leaving the pitch for injury, but the latter evaded doctors, claiming that they are "muscle spasms" only. The next day he had to carry out more thorough tests, but the 22-year-old striker disappeared and did not attend.
The player seemed aware of the seriousness of his injury, and decided to interrupt the appointment as if it would end the symptoms of injury. Quoting a source Marca said that he was from the player's surroundings, Dembley did not "want to hear he was injured again". So think of a solution that is not a solution, by continuing his life according to the usual and ignoring what happened to him, without thinking about the effects of this on his body and thus on his career.
The following Monday, three days after he was injured, Dembele suddenly appeared at the Barcelona camp, to the dismay of officials and doctors. After the tests, it was found that, contrary to what was expected, he suffered a minor injury in the groin area, and as a result he will be absent from the green rectangle for at least three weeks.
