Barcelona Announce Ousmane Dembele Suffered Hamstring Injury in Celta Vigo Loss

Barcelona's 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday was compounded by a hamstring injury for Ousmane Dembele, who left the pitch after just six minutes.

The club took to Twitter to announce further testing will take place to determine how serious the injury is:
