Dembele has suffered a knee injury and will miss the rest of the European Championship for France.
The 24-year-old Barcelona forward came on as a substitute in the second half of France’s Euro 2020 game against Hungary this past Saturday.
However, France head coach Didier Deschamps took off the former Borussia Dortmund forward after 30 minutes.
Dembele picked up a knee injury and will now miss the rest of the tournament.
Barcelona have announced on their official website that the 24-year-old has a dislocation of the biceps tendon in his right knee and will undergo surgery.
Dembele has taken to Instagram to send a message to the fans.
When translated from French, the message reads as follow:
Hi all,
As you may have read or heard here and there, it is time for me to leave the France team.
It’s just a goodbye as they say! I will come back even stronger as I always have. The trials make me grow.
The weeks we spent training and surpassing ourselves have united us like never before. This group is strong and I know it. We all know each other!
To date I therefore become, with you, the first supporter of the Blues!
We must follow through on what we have started and, as always, give the best of ourselves. I trust us, I trust them!
As for me, I tell you very soon on the ground and thank you for your essential support!
Ousmane Dembele
