Ousmane Dembele could be set for a spell on the sidelines after his first La Liga start came to a premature end Saturday.
The 20-year-old was forced to leave Barcelona's match against Getafe in the first half with a hamstring injury.
Dembele clutched his hamstring before sitting down on the pitch as he waited for medical assistance.

Gerard Deulofeu was brought on to replace Dembele, who was named to Ernesto Valverde's starting XI for a La Liga match for the first time since joining Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window for €105 million.
His first start came earlier in the week during Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Juventus.
While it's impossible to know, Dembele's hamstring issue could be related to his lack of pre-season training. The French international went on strike and refused to train with Dortmund during his successful attempt to force a transfer to the Camp Nou.
