Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal has said his team-mate Ousmane Dembele needs to "mature" and take better care of his body to avoid injury layoffs.
Dembele arrived at the Camp Nou in the summer of 2017 following the sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain. While he has shown flashes of incredible talent, the Frenchman has been unable to build any momentum due a number of injury issues and subsequent inconsistency in his play.
Speaking to L'Equipe (h/t Jorge Garcia Natural of Marca), Vidal said Dembele needs to begin focusing more on football to make the next step in his career:
"I speak with [Dembele] a lot as he's a good guy, he wants to become the best.
