Injured yet again Dembele (hamstring) has injured his hamstring once again, and will be out while he undergoes testing, according to Barcelona.

Impact Dembele has had five serious hamstring injuries already in his young career, and at this point he has truly earned the tag "injury-prone." It's impossible to trust the winger, even if he is one of the best in the world when healthy. He will hope to return after the international break.

Held in reserve Tuesday Dembele (knee) was named to the match-day squad against Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday.

Impact If Dembele gets onto the pitch, it would mark his first appearance for the club this season. Considering the forward made 19 starts in 30 La Liga matches last year, he should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI on a weekly basis even if he isn't a lock.

Travels to Kyiv Dembele (knee) is in the traveling squad for Tuesday's clash with Kyiv.

Impact Dembele is in the traveling squad, after spending most of October slowly returning to training. The forward is evidently fully healthy, and could be an immediate starter with the recent injury to Sergio Aguero (chest). Dembele is an electric winger with incredible fantasy potential when healthy alongside Memphis Depay.

Training with team Dembele (knee) is training with the team, at least partially.

Impact Dembele is training with the team, though it's not certain the extent to which he's training with the team. The forward has been slated for an early November return, and while something earlier is possible, it's unlikely.

Partial return to training Dembele (knee) made a partial return to team training Monday, according to Reshad Rahman.

Impact Dembele isn't ahead of schedule, but it's encouraging to see him training outside on the pitch. The forward will still hope to return early in November, or at the very earliest Oct. 31 against Alaves.

November return likely Dembele (knee) will likely be out until November, according to Reshad Rahman of SBNation.

Impact Dembele is still targeting a Novemeber return from a knee injury, though he still hasn't returned to individual training. The forward has been absolutely plagued by injury of late, overshadowing his brilliance when he is healthy. Barcelona can use all the help they can get, and Dembele should have a locked-in starting spot on his return.

OCTOBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Return schedule in place Dembele (knee) is expected to return to training in two-to-four weeks, according to Moises Llorens of ESPN.

Impact Dembele may still not return until November as he recovers from a knee operation but at least there's now a clearer idea as to when that could happen. As Ansu Fati (knee) and Sergio Aguero (knee) are on similar timelines, Dembele could be an early piece to fill the gaps in one of the most talented sides around.

Barcelona's finances holding up new Messi contract

Barcelona president Joan Laporta says the club's poor finances have become the stumbling block to getting Lionel Messi to sign a new contract

JULY 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Out four months Dembele underwent surgery on a dislocated right knee tendon and is expected to miss the next four months, his club disclosed Monday.

Impact Dembele was already expected to miss this much time and this announcement confirms the length of his absence. He only scored six times in 30 league appearances (19 starts) last season, so his loss isn't massive, but still sees a talented and injury-prone player head back to the sidelines. This will primarily put more of a burden on Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, but it should also give a chance for Memphis Depay to slot straight into the starting lineup following his transfer to Barcelona in the offseason as well.

France's showdown against Portugal at Euro 2020 lacks punch

Needs surgery Dembele will need surgery on a tendon in his right knee, Barcelona confirmed Tuesday.

Impact Dembele had already been ruled out of the Euros and reports soon came out that he would be out for at least three months following this injury. Given Dembele's past history with muscular issues, this news may not come as a surprise but is still disappointing after he scored six league goals in 30 games last season.

JUNE 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reportedly out three months Dembele will be out three months after suffering a knee injury in the Euros, reports Xavi Campos of Catalunya Radio.

Impact Originally thought to be another muscle injury for Dembele, this unfortunately looks to be something more severe. It also puts the start of next season in danger, and it doesn't help a possible transfer out of Barcelona. He took part in 30 league matches this past season, but now an injury in the summer has already put a damper on those numbers.

Done for Euro Dembele (hamstring) will not be able to recover for the remaining matches of the Euro and has left the national team, France announced.

Impact Dembele underwent some tests after picking up a muscular problem versus Hungary. While the national team did not disclose its full extent, early reports suggest he's facing multiple months out with surgery a possibility. Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Griezmann will likely see most of the minutes on the offensive flanks moving forward and will be backed up by Kingsley Coman, Thomas Lemar and Marcus Thuram.

France held to 1-1 draw by Hungary at Euro 2020

Subs on, exits with injury Dembele subbed on in the 57th minute and then left in the 87th minute with a possible hamstring injury in Saturday's match against Hungary.

Impact Dembele was fairly healthy this past season with Barcelona, but it looks like he suffered another muscle injury Saturday, something that's ailed him throughout the years. If that's the case, he could be out a couple weeks, meaning there's a chance he doesn't appear again in the Euros.

Benzema misses penalty in comeback as France beats Wales 3-0

Karim Benzema missed a penalty and hit the post on his international return as France warmed up for the European Championship with a 3-0 home win against Wales

JUNE 2, 2021 • Associated Press

Takes three shots in win Dembele took three shots (one on goal) and logged five crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 win over Eibar.

Impact Dembele started as the center-forward despite his best role being on the right wing. This decision was likely due to the absence of Lionel Messi, and it didn't help out Dembele's production as he finishes out a disappointing year by his talents. He ended the season with six goals and three assists in league games while contributing three more in the UCL.

Busy in loss Dembele sent in seven crosses (two accurate), creating three chances during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Celta Vigo.

Impact Dembele looked to be back to his best, bombing down the right side of midfield and peppering the Celta Vigo box. The forward nearly had a couple assists, but was let down by poor finishing. Dembele will hope to end a tough season on a high note, away to Eibar on Sunday.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, assists in draw Dembele scored one goal on his only shot and provided one assist from three chances created in 81 minutes of Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Levante.

Impact Dembele returned to the starting lineup for the first time in a month and scored for the third time in four starts. Interestingly, he was asked to play as a wing-back in this match and also won three tackles. As long as he's still given the freedom to stay in the attack, Dembele could hold more fantasy value than the inconsistent Antoine Griezmann. Up next is a match against Celta Vigo, which are tied for the third-most goals conceded in La Liga.
