Ansu Fati, Barcelona winger has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, the Catalan club confirmed in a statement on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Spain international has encountered several injury setbacks in recent seasons since his breakout 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 clash against French side Brest on November 26, along with La Liga games 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 sidelined with an ankle injury for around three weeks.
Veteran striker Robert Lewandowski is dealing with a minor back issue while Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and several others remain out.
