Dani Ceballos Concludes His Injury Came For Playing Too Many Games Under Emery

Dani Ceballos pointed out his recent injury to be the worst of his career.

The Spaniard was initially thought to be sidelined for only a month or so but ended up facing three.

Arsenal exercised caution due to fears of a setback. Ceballos did admit that his hamstring pull came after playing too frequently under Emery.

“Personally, I have just returned from a very serious injury, it is the first one I have had since I was a professional,” Ceballos began. “It affected my tendon and the doctors told me that it was not common and that I had to be quite careful.

“I have been taking it little by little because I was afraid of relapse. Practically, from two to three weeks ago, I am fairly well. Now I have to catch up, compete and return to my best level.

“[The injury] was in Guimarares, in Portugal, I think due to an excess of matches. I played 17 games in two months, I was the only player who had played all those games.

“At that time I spoke with Unai [Emery] and told him that in all competitions, as long as I could and my body allowed it, I wanted to play it all. Sometimes you have to learn from mistakes. It cost me an injury, but you learn from everything.”

Ceballos did appear for 21 minutes in a FA Cup fixture against Bournemouth. He looked bright and enthusiastic but has yet, to fight for his place in the first team.
