Dembélé's injury affects Barça... And Dortmund

There's truly no positive outcome from Dembélé's injury; especially for Barcelona, who had been vocal about their need for the Frenchman to come back stronger because of the lack of reinforcements in the team's attacking positions. With this new injury, the World Cup winner has essentially said goodbye to his participation this season.

But there are more consequences. It is not just any injury, but yet another chapter for the club's ongoing crisis. Now, 'AS' has revealed that the doctors were not able to detect Dembele's serious injury at first, and the player had to call the doctors after becoming worried about the pain he was feeling. The next day, the worst possible news was confirmed.

The fact that the French striker is not playing also affects Borussia Dortmund. If Dembélé made it to 75 games, a figure he had in his sights by accumulating 74, the German club would take home five million euros stipulated in the add-ons.

The bonuses, 40 million, were already known at the time. Barcelona has already paid some for qualifying for the Champions League and some of the matches played by the young Frenchman. As a fixed concept, Borussia paid 105.
