Dembele out for five weeks with new injury: one player who can replace him shown in lineup

Ousmane Dembele has been ruled out for the next five weeks after pulling his muscle in the game against Girona on Saturday.

Without the fleet-footed Frenchman for Barca’s upcoming games, Raphina is the man widely tipped to replace him.

The Brazilian has been eyeing the opportunity to play in that right-wing but Dembele has made that position his own with some excellent performances this season. Dembouz has recorded 8 goals and 7 assists so far.

But Raphinha has not done too badly playing on the left-wing. The former Leeds winger has chipped in with just as many assists as Dembele but with four fewer goals.
