Premise: Barcelona's record signing Ousmane Dembele is set to return from a long injury layoff in tomorrow morning's (Singapore time) Copa del Rey match against Celta Vigo, the club have said. Dembele, who joined Barcelona for a 105-million euro (S$168m) fee that could rise to 147m euros from Borussia Dortmund in August, made only three appearances for Barca before rupturing his hamstring against Getafe on Sept 16. The 20-year-old French forward returned to training last month and received his medical discharge on Tuesday.
Hypothesis: Ousmane Dembele had a ruptured hamstring before his 21st birthday.
