Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele says he's "wasted five years" trying to deal with his various injury problems but dismisses suggestions he has spent too much time partying.
The 25-year-old has been producing some impressive form at Camp Nou this season after working his way back into first team plans under boss Xavi. Dembele has already made eight appearances this term, scoring twice, almost as many as he managed in the entire 2019/20 season.
It's been a difficult road for the Frenchman since his transfer to Barca from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for an initial £96.8million. His off-field conduct came under scrutiny frequently as he failed to live up to his price tag, though places blame for all his struggles on his rotten luck with injuries.
