A new medical statement with Ansu Fati as the protagonist. Another injury for the forward. Barça’s number 10 re-enters the infirmary. The injuries do not leave the 22-year-old striker alone, who broke his muscle again in training this Wednesday with Barcelona. A emotional blow for a player whose career has not been able to take off due to physical setbacks.
The footballer has injured the biceps femoris in the thigh of his right leg. The approximate recovery time that medical services estimate is four weeks. Which represents a slowdown in their attempt to return to their level. He will miss Barça’s next five games: four in the League and the one against Brest in the Champions League.
7 games, 1 starter
The youth player was no longer able to travel to the United States tour in the summer and has been little part of Flick’s plans.
Ansu Fati could no longer travel this summer to the tour of the United States with his teammates due to plantar fasciitis, which prevented him from starting on equal terms. So the youth squad has barely entered Hansi Flick’s plans. So far, he has played 7 games, only one of which as a starter. He hasn’t scored yet this season.
The career of the promising forward has a before and after the meniscus tear that he suffered in November 2020 at the Camp Nou during a Barcelona-Betis match. Ansu Fati had to undergo surgery and it took him almost a year to play again.
But since then, injuries have not allowed him to continue. This is the eighth small injury that has occurred in a chain.
Since meniscus surgery in 2020
At 22 years old, the footballer’s career is marked by physical misfortunes
Last season he was also unable to make the most of his loan to Brighton because another physical misfortune cut off his progress. He was unemployed between November and February and then he did not regain the confidence of coach De Zerbi.
Ansu Fati’s injury further weakens Barcelona’s attack, where only Raphinha is healthy. Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski have not even been able to travel with their national teams while Ferran Torres has been out since October 6.
