Dembele, who joined the Catalan giants from Borussia Dortmund in August, missed almost all of the first half of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury against Getafe in September and only returned to the Barca first team this month.

"Tests have confirmed that the player has suffered a hamstring injury of the semitendinosus muscle that does not affect the area operated on earlier in the season," a statement read.

"The injury will mean he will be out for a period of around three to four weeks."

Meanwhile, Barca confirmed Andres Iniesta has suffered a right calf injury and "his recovery will determine his return to action for the coming matches".
