Barcelona winger Ansu Fati has been sidelined for four weeks due to a hamstring injury, the club confirmed on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Spanish international, who has faced several injury setbacks since his breakout as a teenager in 2019, sustained a muscle injury in his right hamstring during training.
“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,” read Barcelona’s statement.
This injury rules Fati out of Barcelona’s upcoming Champions League match against Brest on November 26, along with La Liga fixtures against Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Real Betis.
In addition to Fati, young winger Lamine Yamal, who recently broke Fati’s record as Barcelona’s youngest-ever player and goalscorer, is also out for approximately three weeks with an ankle injury.
The club’s injury list includes other key players like veteran striker Robert Lewandowski (back issue) and defenders Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo.
