Barca’s Winger, Fati Out For Four Weeks
Barcelona winger Ansu Fati has been ruled out for approximately four weeks after sustaining a right hamstring injury during training, the club confirmed in a statement on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Spain international, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, will miss several key matches, including the upcoming Champions League game against French side Brest on November 26 and several La Liga fixtures against Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Real Betis.
“Ansu Fati has suffered a muscle injury (to his right hamstring) during training on Wednesday. He is expected to be out for around four weeks,” said Barcelona, who are currently leading La Liga.
Fati’s injury comes at a time when he had been regaining form, but the latest setback has once again interrupted his progress.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s other young talent, Lamine Yamal, who recently broke Fati’s record as the youngest-ever player and scorer for the club, is also sidelined with an ankle injury, expected to be out for around three weeks.
The team is also dealing with injuries to several other key players, including Robert Lewandowski, Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo.
