Spanish teenager Ansu Fati is one of Barcelona’s gems and Blaugrana have high hopes when it comes to their quick-footed attacker. However, in early stages of his career it does not look good as far as injuries go.The 18-year-old missed the majority of the 2020-2021 season after undergoing surgery on a knee injury that he sustained last November. He scored or assisted 40 per cent of the club’s goals until his injury last season and news from Camp Nou are not to optimistic.Can Jesus rejuvenate the Old Lady’s Scudetto ambitions?He is set to miss the club’s pre-season fixtures and the start of the new season as his rehab drags on.The teenager was forced to undergo surgery after he was withdrawn at half-time of Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Betis on November 7 for suffering a meniscus injury – quite a severe one which ruled him out of contention for Ronald Koeman’s squad. Fati has been working through his rehab programme in Madrid, under the guidance of knee specialist Dr Jose Carlos Noronha, according to Diario AS. 🚨@ANSUFATI SALE DEL HOSPITAL cinco días después de la operación.IMAGEN #JUGONES 📽 @mfuster pic.twitter.com/4tD9uzrEHG— El Chiringuito TV (@elchiringuitotv) November 13, 2020 Much to Koeman’s disappointment, Ansu Fati is still far off returning to training with the squad.He was spotted at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva del Barcelona training facilities to undergo his standard pre-season medical tests.The news of Fati’s extended absence will come as a major blow regardless of a pretty busy transfer window during which Barca signed attackers Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero (if they can be licensed or not due to financial issues at Camp Nou is a whole different story).
