The first news about Ousmane Dembele's injury against Leganes is calming. After an initial scare where both his knee and ankle could have been affected, now just the latter is hurt.
Ernesto Valverde and the club officially said that he has a "light sprain". However neither siad how long Dembele will be out.
"He was calm and we hope it's not too long," said Valverde. "He's someone who breaks through defences and is capable of opening up any side. We lose a lot without him."
The club's medical statement read: "Ousmane Dembele has a sprain in his left ankle. On Monday he will take tests to find the extent of the injury."
The Frenchman was one of the big protagonists of the game, scoring and impressing with a variety of skills.
Dembele has 13 goals this season and Barca will miss him.

It’s not only if Valverde would stop playing him as a winger and play him as a Central Midfielder next to Rakitic with Busquets behind them and the front 3 of Dembele Suarez Messi I don’t know why Valverde has his mind locked onto Coutinho as a Left wing play him as a midfielder when he played him as a midfielder he was creating a lot of chances he also scored 3 goals playing as a midfielder I don’t think he scored so far as a Left wing please play him as a midfielder. BARCA were at there best with this line up they were winning by 3 goals 4 even 8 with this lineup
