Pure boolshit.
As he has never been an injury-prone player before Barca, it not just certain but SURE that either the gym exercises or the training exercises contain "something", some wrong elements at the wrong places that doesn't fit his particular body, muscular buildup.
Nutrition and sleeping with his friends have nothing to do with these injuries, as probably he used to be on the same diet before joining Barca and never getting injured.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Diet and rest are the most important factors of staying healthy. He is 22y old so he basically had no chance to be seriously injured apart from that one season with BVB.

That being said former Espanyol player Jacinto Ela wrote an open letter to Dembele. Here are some quotes:

"Forget about recovering as soon as possible. Play when you're ready!"

"Why do you need them if all of your friends live with you? I don't know why you live with so many people. Is there nobody else who sees that this is not good, or do you not care? Kicking them out of your house doesn't mean kicking them out of your life. I understand that you need to be supported, but you should start thinking like an adult. It isn't easy at your age, I get that, but you need to be a bit boring to show your best."

"At 22 years of age, your injury list stands out. What's worrying is those injuries are tough on you physically. But emotionally, it's going to creep into your confidence too. Any slight discomfort is going to set off an alarm. Without meaning to, you become a hypochondriac."

"Follow all the advice the professionals at the club give you. The medical staff, the physios and the dieticians should be your new bosses. If you need to sleep at 8PM, do it. If they tell you to become a began, eat tofu every hour of the day. If they have to start yoga, do it."

What Ela says is utterly irrelevant.
Diet and rest are truly important but we humans are not all the same. Some people need much longer sleep than others do.
Some people are capable of performing on a very high level in football, regardless their diet (apart from sugar and carbon-hydrate), whereas some sportsmen need a very strict diet.

Just look at the list of vegetarian or even vegan footballers on the net (Gnabry, Aguero, Smalling, Delph etc.), and Messi is also almost vegetarian, something which is usually never advised for footballers.
We are never similar and not even similar in how we react to different forms of diet.
Regardless what Vidal and others say to the press, we know nothing about Dembele's diet, but the club knows and it is the club's task to implement whatever needs to be implemented.

For someone who regularly claims to be intelligent, you sure have a poor understanding of genetic predisposition to injury, illness and disease. You can have a genetic susceptibility to cancer and not experience it until you're 50. You can have genetic susceptibility to heart failure and not experience an attack until you're 22, you can take nouri from ajax as an example

Not having any history of attacks or injuries at X age isn't proof of a lack of genetic susceptibility to injury. There are several studies detailing that athletes with Achilles tendons ruptures were 4-5 times more likely to be related to someone with an Achilles injury. There are heritable gene combinations associated with a high risk factor for Achilles ruptures. Players with these aforementioned risk factors experience their fist Achilles injuries well into their careers.

There are plenty of players with injury ridden careers caused by obvious inherent and uncontrollable factors experiencing a relatively free injury period during the beginning of their careers. Ronaldo nazario, van Basten etc

Valverde, the staff, the board and so on can be the cause to his injuries sure, but do consider the possibility that it might be genetic.

Consider that before you berate multiple users in your fits of narcissistic idiocy.

The player has asked his problems to be solved for once and for all and is willing to accept any solution, no matter how traumatic. Hence, his agent met with the club this afternoon to assess the best solution. [as]

He and his agent are aware that it's now or never to save his career.
If surgery is the best possible solution, it is better to get it now before he ends up being Owen Hargreaves 2.0.

Hope you don't expect and answer. Won't get it.

Otherwise it is great to see the many scientific souls in this forum.
There are well versed dermatologists, general practitioners, knee surgeons, male-nurses, muscle specialists, at least as many as coaches, physiotherapists, fitness specialist, presidents and scouting experts, analysts and accountants.

They always know the EXACT cause of injuries, they know the bodies of the players whom otherwise they hate, and also know how many hours the assistant coach has to sleep.
Good to be in expert company.

Once again your narcissism is preventing you from properly evaluating the situation.

Remember, you're the one who's completely ruling out and determining causes with absolute certainty despite lacking both the experience in relative professions and information on this specific case.

I'm simply showing you how void your diagnosis is from being correct. Once again, being injury free for two years does not rule out genetic susceptibility to injury.

He may or may not be, valverde and his staff might be the cause of it, or Barcelona's medical team - regardless we shouldn't blame a player for getting injured especially when we know very little about what's going on in his life.

Not everyone my boy, just those who knowingly judge and adjudicate in matters, that probably even the Barca doctors are not fully or necessarily certain about.

Just look at the kind posts towards me by [MENTION=22863]Laplacian[/MENTION]. He doesn't just enunciate his otherwise questionable opinion, but at the same time feels to be entitled to draw a complete conclusion of the psychological and mental state of mine. I was referring to that type of overconfidence.
