Revealed: Barcelona’s plan to speed up Dembélé injury recovery

Last summer Barcelona signed Ousmane Dembélé for a club-record fee of € 150 million (€ 105 million plus € 45 million in add-ons) in order to replace Neymar. The Brazilian star left Barcelona for Psg for € 222 million and the promising French winger was thought to be his perfect replacement.

Trouble is, the former Borussia Dortmund star picked up a serious injury in his third game for the blaugrana and had to undergo a surgery on the 19th of September.

Last month’s reports suggested Dembélé would have taken 6 months to return to action but today’s edition of Mundo Deportivo claims the player’s recovery time could be less than that.

The Catalan paper reveals the plan of Barcelona to speed up the recovery of Dembélé.
Although Dembélé can’t still do any specific recovery work for his injured area, the player will soon make return to the Sant Joan Despí Ciutat Esportiva so he won’t lose touch with his teammates and that should be helping him to better cope with his injury.

For the moment, Dembélé is doing physiotherapy sessions on the tendon muscle operated. Once the first part of physiotherapy will be over (in one month), the player will start to run again. Of course, in order not to lose muscular mass in the rest of the body, the Frenchman is already going to the gym of the same Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where follows a pattern of exercises: abs and weights to work the upper part of the trunk, besides strengthening the arms .
