Ansu Fati will not play Almería-Barcelona on Sunday at the Power Horse Stadium. In fact, the forward will not even travel to Andalusia. The youth squad player suffered a blow to his left knee in training this Thursday, already at the Joan Gamper sports city, after the elimination from the Europa League.
It is a strong shock but any precaution is little taking into account that the player underwent surgery three times to recover from that same joint. For this reason, Ansu Fati, who has played 34 of Barça's 35 games this season, will stay at home resting.
The 20-year-old striker played the last quarter of an hour at Old Trafford coming off the bench and it looked like he could repeat his start against Cádiz on the last day in Almería. But the injury leaves him out of the team.
Fati is out, for the moment, for the league duel against Almería. His evolution will determine if she will be able to play the classic of the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal at the Bernabeu on Thursday. The intention of the coaching staff and the footballer is for him to be available for that great duel.
This season the academy player has scored six goals, five of them away from the Camp Nou. The last one he celebrated was on January 19 against Ceuta in the Cup. Despite the fact that he has a contract until 2027, Ansu Fati arouses the interest of several important teams in Europe. "I hope to continue for many years at Barça", declared the footballer before flying to Manchester.
