Barcelona crock Ousmane Dembele says he'll be back in action in two months' time.

The Frenchman is expected to miss four months after undergoing surgery this week.

But the player himself has made a surprising claim. Shortly after arriving in Barcelona, Dembele uploaded a photograph to Instagram of his team-mates wearing T-shirts offering their support him before Tuesday's win over Eibar.

The photo doesn't have any direct comments, but it does have various hashtag. Among them are #viscabarça, #prontoderegreso and, most interestingly, #iwillbebackintwomonths.
