Fuck, the guy is really unlucky. I don't expect much from him this season anymore tbh, here is for hoping that he turns out to be a good investment for the future seasons.

You cannot prove such thing with just a frame/picture.

Otherwise I agree with you - without proper warm-up exercises, for at least 5-10 minutes, the risk of getting injured is much higher. Basic fitness/gym rules.

No I can’t prove this, but every time I see team stretching he is doing it like that. I might be wrong but it’s strange coincidence than. He was doing it in the same way before Getafe game and he got injured in that game. Look at this, is this the way a proffesional player should warm-up?

Maybe he had discomfort so that was the reason but it could also be the other way around that discomfort came because he didn’t warm up as he should have. He had a discomfort in his left leg but he is doing it in the same way with his right one so I suppose this is his terrible way of warming up. Our fitness coaches really have to change that! And to be fair how the hell no one from our coaching team didn’t see how was he warming up and if they did why the hell they didn’t react?

Very fast players tend to be more injury prone. That's normal, look at Bale, Robben, Alba, Walcott they rely on pace much more so their muscles suffer a bit more.
Making conclusions if someone will or won't be injury prone based on two injuries is useless. What we should do is concentrate on his diet, exercises etc. so we minimize the risk of relapse and in the end we need to give him TIME to heal properly.

He should be ready for the return leg against Chelsea. To be fair in London we actually don't need him that much since we will for sure play more cautiously in the first leg.

But it's precisely because we will be more defensive at Stamford Bridge that Dembele might be useful. His pace could prove uber-useful for potential counter-attacks.

But at the same time, playing Paulinho at CAM in 442 diamond would be also a good idea, so he can press Kante and helps in aerial duels with Morata. Plus he is another goal threat. There are pros and cons to all options.

Pulling stuff he did this summer and then not reporting his discomfort prior to injury says he's not the brightest guy. Not sure about the stretching stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if he did that the wrong way either.

Someone needs to put him under his wing and I don't mean driving by with windows rolled down with his pal Umtiti.

Messi should do it. He's pretty much the leader of the team, has good experience with hamstring issues and how to cope with pressure, and probably has a plethora of good contacts that can help him with diet and physical stuff outside of just the Barca system. That nutritionist in Italy who helped him sort out his acid reflux problem should for example take a look at Dembele's entire diet.

More like you're not the brightest guy for saying things like that.

He "pulled stuff this summer" because that was the only way Dortmund was letting him go. He was basically their best player and they really wanted him bad to stay, he was never going away without doing that. He did that for Barcelona too, we don't even know if it's not Barcelona club which asked for it. So we shouldn't talk about that.

And who says he didn't report a discomfort. Where are you pulling that from ? He got injured, like dozens of players. Shit happens. No reason to fall on him, he didn't injure himself on purpose you know.

Your club deserves better fans than that.

Messi and Dembele can hardly communicate as Messi only speaks Spanish and Dembele hardly speaks Spanish. I don't think Messi has ever been all that vocal either.

I know, they would need a translator. He won't be fluent enough in Spanish to communicate on any level above giving the OK sign and smiling for a while.


You know, sort of like this:
