Dembélé optimistic on injury: "I'll be back in two months"
The Barcelona forward posted a message on social media in which he stated he would defy medical prognosis and return earlier than expected.
Ousmane Dembélé returned to Barcelona on Wednesday after undergoing surgery in Finland on a ruptured tendon in his left thigh that he sustained in the 2-1 victory over Getafe in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez last weekend.

Doctors have placed the France international’s recovery time at between three and four months but Dembélé has expressed his optimism that he will be back considerably before that. Posting on social media in response to his teammates wearing shirts with a message of support for the 20-year-old, Dembélé wrote “visca barça” and “back soon.”
But the most surprising line of all was when the player stated that he return well before medical opinion suggests: “I’ll be back in two months.”
