Ousmane Dembele Injures Hamstring vs. Getafe, Replaced by Gerard Deulofeu

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury in the first half of the Blaugrana's La Liga clash at Getafe on Saturday.

Per Spanish football writer Dermot Corrigan, the 20-year-old Frenchman—signed from Borussia Dortmund in the summer in a deal worth up to £135.5 million—was replaced by Gerard Deulofeu at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez:

It was Dembele's first league start in a Barcelona shirt, but it lasted less than half an hour.

He pulled up chasing a ball into the corner of the pitch and was unable to continue. 

Barcelona will be desperately hoping it is not a serious injury. The Catalan giants brought in Dembele to replace Neymar after the Brazilian surprisingly left the club for Paris Saint-Germain in a £200 million deal. 

He started Saturday's clash in a front three alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi but now faces the prospect of some time on the sidelines depending on the severity of the injury.
