Ansu Fati, who has been struggling to find his form, has suffered a setback in pre-season training with Barcelona due to a foot injury. This comes after a disappointing loan spell at Brighton.
The unfortunate player will be sidelined for 3 to 6 weeks and will not be joining the team on their US tour, Goal reports.
Since making his debut at Camp Nou at the age of 16 in 2019, the young player's career has been plagued by multiple injuries.
A meniscus tear in his knee kept him out of action for nearly a year in 2020, necessitating surgery and recovery. Additional hamstring and muscle injuries continued to impede his development, prompting his loan to Brighton by the Catalan club last summer, the report added.
While on loan at Brighton, Ansu faced another setback with a hamstring injury, forcing him to sit out for three months.
His fitness issues hindered his performance in the Premier League, limiting him to just over 1000 minutes of play. Despite returning to pre-season with determination to impress new manager Hansi Flick, an unfortunate foot injury has once again impeded his progress.
In an official statement by Barcelona issued about Ansu's recent injury, the club stated that he hurt the sole of his right foot during Tuesday's training session. Ansu will undergo conservative treatment in Barcelona, and his return to training will depend on his recovery.
"In Tuesday’s training session, first team player Ansu Fati injured the sole of his right foot. He will follow a conservative treatment plan in Barcelona, and his return to training will be decided by his recovery."
