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."
