Barcelona's Dembélé out of action for two rounds due to muscle strain in injury update.

Barcelona midfielder Ousmane Dembélé is set to miss the next two matches after sustaining a muscle strain during training on Friday. The France international was forced off during the second half of Barça's match against Granada and will now be out of action until at least the end of the week.

Dembélé has been in excellent form this season, scoring six goals and providing five assists in just eight appearances for Barcelona. However, his absence could have significant implications for the team as they look to maintain their title challenge in La Liga.

In addition to Dembélé's injury, there were also positive developments for the rest of the squad. Midfielder Sergio Busquets returned to training following a knee problem, while defender Samuel Umtiti was able to take part in full training sessions for the first time since undergoing surgery earlier this year.

However, despite these positive developments, it remains to be seen how quickly the injured players can return to full fitness. With only a few weeks left in the season, every player must be fully focused on their recovery if they want to help their team secure a successful campaign.
