FC Barcelona has reported in its Twitter account that Ousmane Dembélé will undergo surgery in Turku to treat a rupture to the proximal tendon of his right hamstring.
Doctor Sakari Orava will be in charge of fixing the right leg of the French striker. He is the same doctor who operated on Dembélé in 2017, when he had the same injury, but on the other leg.
