Barcelona Provides A Medical Update On Ansu Fati

Ansu Fati, a standout for Barcelona, will likely miss further time due to injuries.

The previous two and a half years of the Spanish international’s career have been plagued by injuries that date back to November 2020.

Fati returned to the La Blaugrana fold at the beginning of 2021/22 after missing 11 months of activity due to knee surgery, although he missed a total of five months of the season due to a recurring hamstring problem.

The team has acknowledged that he injured his knee during training following their 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the Europa League, when he was a late substitution.

He will not play in this weekend’s La Liga trip to Almeria, according to Barcelona, which has not provided an update on when he is anticipated to return after medical examinations.

The bigger worry for Xavi, however, is that he may miss the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal on Wednesday against Real Madrid, with a probable recuperation time of two weeks.
