BARCA’S ANSU FATI OUT WITH HAMSTRING INJURY
Barcelona winger Ansu Fati has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, the Catalan club said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Spain international has faced numerous injury problems in recent seasons since bursting onto the scene as a teenager in 2019.
“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 La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Fati is set to miss the club’s Champions League match against French side Brest on November 26, as well as La Liga matches against Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Real Betis.
Winger Lamine Yamal, who broke Fati’s record as the youngest-ever Barcelona player and goalscorer, is also out injured for around three weeks with an ankle problem.
Veteran Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is dealing with a minor back issue, while Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and others are also sidelined.
