Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati seems to have hinted he could be facing up to a year on the sidelines due to his current knee injury.
Fati suffered a serious knee injury in November, having played 10 games in all competitions, scoring five goals.
The Spain winger had surgery to address the problem with his meniscus and was reportedly set for four months out, but his return has been pushed back until at least April, with no firm timescale on his comeback.
It is not the first serious injury the 18-year-old has sustained, however, with Fati revealing he previously spent close to a year out of action due to fracturing his tibia and fibula – a lay-off he believes has prepared him for the challenge which he is going through.
A few years ago I had a serious injury, a fractured tibia and fibula, and I couldn t play for almost a year. Fati wrote in a post on his official Instagram account.
There were many days of suffering and pain, but also a lot of learning. It helped me to appreciate the little details.
