Dembélé not recovering at the expected pace

Ousmane Dembélé's return a few days ago was good news: he was already back in the training ground and had tested negative for COVID-19. However, as soon as he arrived, the bad news came back. The French winger is not meeting the deadlines for his recovery according to 'AS'. 

Halfway through the six months he was meant to be out for, it seems his muscle mass is below expectations. 

The scar after his severe rupture of the proximal biceps femoral tendon of the right thigh is fine, it has already been completely closed. However, since the muscle is not of sufficient consistency, the tasks he had to do at this point cannot be completed. In other words, his dream of playing the Champions League in August is dashed. 

If there were already enough reserves with a footballer who has relapsed several times from the same ailment, even when he has been foresighted, now there will be more. Not already thinking about his reappearance, but with a view to using him as a coin in the next transfer window. 

His efforts with doctors in Qatar have not come to fruition, and the club, which reluctantly agreed to let him be treated in the middle eastern country, is not happy. 

From now on, the French attacker will work with a specific trainer at Barça whose mission will be to take care of that the player.
