Diminutive? Pedri, Gavi and Fati are/were amazing players.Why do people keep bringing up Dembeles injury issues like he wasnt signed for 100m+ at 21? He was not signed to be a young player you ease in. He was signed to replace Neymar.
Also Yamal is physically way more developed that all those other diminutive players you mentioned.
Pedri and Gavi's fitness issues are all because of the same pattern that Yamal is going through - outrageous amounts of minutes at a very young age.
Once you have bad injuries at that age, it's very likely to repeat over and over again.
Dembele is a good example because it's that classic case of being overplayed as a teenager, not necessarily just for Barca, and that resulted in some muscular inbalances which is why his hamstring can't hold itself together for long periods of time.
