Barcelona's record signing Ousmane Dembele has insisted that he will be back on the pitch in "two months".
The 20-year-old completed a £135m move to Camp Nou at the end of August, just one year after he moved to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in a £13m deal.
The Frenchman played just three games for his new side, forming a new up-front trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, before he was ruled out for three to four months with a thigh injury.
Taking to Instagram yesterday, the youngster voiced his support for Barcelona following their 6-1 league win over Getafe and appeared to halve his own diagnosis by declaring: "I return in two months"

Barcelona were widely mocked on social media for taking to the field wearing 'Courage Dembele' T-shirts ahead of the game.
