Ahead of Tuesday night’s second-leg clash with Aston Villa, Dembele spoke to the media. One question he was asked was about injury issues that plagued him at Barcelona, which have disappeared since moving to France.
“I had a lot of physical setbacks at Barcelona,” Dembele said (h/t Canal Supporters). “But then, I had a lot of people who helped me and who now work at PSG. I changed a lot of things when it comes to injury prevention, and it’s paid off.
“Now, I feel really good physically and in my personal life too. I try to enjoy myself on the pitch—even if I’m not a big fan of physical training (smiles), I try to do it because I know it helps me perform better.”
