Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has expressed his frustration with Ousmane Dembélé after the winger’s latest injury setback.
Dembélé, who has been plagued by injury problems throughout his time at Barcelona, picked up another injury during training this week. The setback is likely to rule him out of the team’s crucial upcoming matches.
Enrique criticized Dembélé’s commitment and professionalism, suggesting that he has not been fully committed to the team’s goals. The manager implied that Dembélé’s attitude has been a contributing factor to his recurring injuries.
“It seems like we never lost a game with Dembélé… no, we lost against Newcastle, Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Barça at home,” Enrique said sarcastically. “If someone doesn’t comply with team rules, it means he’s not ready for a key week like this one.
“Dembélé’s absence will be a significant blow for Barcelona, who are facing a crucial period in their season. The club will need to find a replacement for the talented winger as they compete in multiple competitions.
