“So you change your diet slightly and then no, maybe it’s not that. Last year I changed my diet a little bit. I’ve always eaten well but now I’m eating a few more vegetables and greens than perhaps I did.
“On top of that the Premier League is so demanding that you can’t play at 80 per cent. I’ve tried turning out at 80-85 per cent fit and that’s when I’ve injured myself.
“Nowadays I’ve learnt from that and I try not to make the same mistake.”
