Barcelona hold meeting to determine cause of Ousmane Dembele's injuries?

Barcelona chiefs reportedly hold a meeting to determine the exact cause of Ousmane Dembele's perpetual injuries since joining the club.

Barcelona chiefs have reportedly held a meeting to determine the exact cause of Ousmane Dembele's perpetual injuries since joining the club.

The winger - signed from Borussia Dortmund for around £120m in 2017 - will miss 10 weeks of action due to a thigh injury sustained during the week.

With just 17 goals to his name since joining Barcelona, Dembele has suffered six injuries in 2019, three of them coming since August.

According to Marca, sporting director Eric Abidal will meet with Barcelona's medical team to analyse potential causes behind the continued problems.

Previous reports have suggested that Dembele's lifestyle choices - namely his propensity for playing video games late at night and poor eating habits - served as the cause behind the problem.

While the exact reasons remain unclear, it has been speculated that Dembele's problems could be due to the intensity of training, with his right leg showing inflammation even before the injury.
