Ansu Fati injured, setting off alarm bells in Barcelona

A new injury becomes another huge setback for the striker of Barcelona Football Club, Ansu Fati. On Wednesday morning, the youth player suffered an injury to the plantar fasciitis of his right foot and it was revealed through an official statement from the team that the player will undergo conservative treatment in Barcelona and, therefore, the reality today is that he will not be part of the Catalan club’s tour of the United States, which will begin next Sunday.

The club has not yet announced any time off and He only limited himself to explaining that the evolution of this injury will determine Fati’s availability.

The injury comes at a pretty bad time for Ansu Fati as the striker According to reports from Barcelona, ​​he was having a very positive pre-season in the training sessions of the Blaugrana team and was also surprising the new coach of the team, the German Hansi Flick. The youth player had returned to training in very good physical shape and morally reinforced. Fati’s intention is to be able to play in the 2024-25 season with Barcelona and until the moment of the injury, everything was going very well.

The injury hurts Fati’s plans to some extent

However, the tour of the United States was key to demonstrate much more and to be able to fully convince Flick and his coaching staff, since after 10 days of the tour, they will make definitive and key decisions regarding the final composition of the squad for the next season.

The forward felt good, strong and with a much more mature mentality than in years spent at the Catalan club. Fati was leaving behind the bad taste in his mouth that was his time in the English Premier League with the colours of Brighton, where although he had a good start to the season, an injury at the end of last November kept him out of action for almost two months and he was unable to regain the coach’s confidence.

It started at one hundred percent

Hansi Flick I was seeing the attacker, physically, better than I expected, although he is aware that he still has room for improvement. Fati’s improvement is such that at the time the Spanish newspaper Marca even commented that coach Josep Mourinho was closely monitoring the performance and physical progress of the Barça youth player in order to try to secure his services.

Ansu Fati was doing everything possible to stay at the institution of FC Barcelona, ​​​​make a place for himself in the team and play as many minutes as possible, and now he has received a hard setback. Since he suffered a serious knee injury against Betis on November 7, 2020, the attacker has had a constant history full of injuries and ailments, but nothing that prevents him from keeping his dream of succeeding and being a regular player at Barcelona intact, even though there are several teams that want to sign him, including Sevilla.
