Saturday's game against Cádiz (2-1) will be very difficult for the Blaugrana parish to forget. More than by the defeat, already fraudulent in itself, by moving Barcelona away from the top positions – it is twelve points below Atlético de Madrid – but by the image of the resounding blunder of Cádiz's second goal, a concatenation of ridiculous errors, from Jordi Alba's disastrous throw-in, to the laziness of Lenglet when picking up the ball and Ter Stegen's impotence in clearance.
But since misfortunes never come alone, the defeat against Cádiz was accompanied by the confirmation this Sunday of a new injury to Ousmane Dembélé. The French striker left Ramón de Carranza with an elongation in the biceps femoris in his right leg. It is a minor injury, but as it is a player with a high rate of relapse and injury history in this area, the minimum time provided by the medical services is two weeks.
The club has already confirmed in a statement that Dembélé will not be against Juventus and everything indicates that he will not arrive for the matches against Levante, Real Sociedad and Valencia of LaLiga.. An undoubtedly sensitive casualty for Koeman, as the French forward appears to have regained confidence in his game and has definitely said goodbye to his injury curse.
As well, Dembélé is injured again, and what is worse, again in the hamstrings, leaving in evidence those who had highlighted a physical improvement this season. It is clear that the Frenchman has not done 'clean' and his future at Barcelona continues to create many more shadows than lights.
