The curse of injuries continues to haunt Ansu Fati, this time after he suffered a sudden injury to his thigh, according to what Barcelona announced in an official statement on Wednesday.
Fati returned from his loan to Brighton last summer, and after starting well in the preparation period, he was injured and was absent for 3 months, and after returning, he failed to secure a basic position in coach Hansi Flick’s squad.
During the current international break, Fati participated as usual in Barcelona’s training, where he was injured again in his thigh, and will be away from the stadiums for at least a month.
The injury of the Spanish international further complicates his situation with the Blaugrana, especially after it was reported that coach Hansi Flick does not mind dispensing with him, and that the player himself is tired of sitting as a substitute in Barça.
In the same context, Turkish press reports have appeared in the last hours about a special interest from Fenerbahce in contracting Fati on loan, based on the desire of coach Jose Mourinho.
The 22-year-old has only played 158 minutes for Barcelona this season in seven games, most of which came as a substitute, reflecting Flick’s lack of confidence in his abilities.
Fati is third in Barcelona’s attacking ranks behind Robert Lewandowski and youngster Pau Victor, and the player is well aware of this, so he and his agent Jorge Mendes are looking for a way out in January, with the approval of Joan Laporta’s management.
