His period of unavailability has not been specified by the club, but it could extend from one to five months depending on the mode of treatment chosen.

An opportunity for Dembélé?
This is a serious injury that could put a stop to the sensational debut of the young prodigy, who already holds many precocity records at FC Barcelona and with La Roja.
With five goals in ten matches in all competitions, Ansu Fati is Barça's second-best scorer this season behind Lionel Messi.
“He felt pain during the break.
We didn't want to risk anything, that's why I made this change, ”reacted Ronald Koeman in a post-match press conference, without going into details.
