Another player’s absence from Barcelona’s match against Almeria next Sunday in the 23rd round of the Spanish League confirmed the club’s ongoing injury woes.
Ansu Fati, Barça’s attacker, was injured in the team’s Friday training session, according to a statement.
Since his injury on November 7, 2020, while playing in a La Liga match against Real Betis, Fati had already undergone four surgeries on his left knee. The Catalan newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reports that Barcelona is hopeful that Almeria will not be affected by Fati’s absence. Only, and that he will be attending the King’s Cup semi-final first-leg match between Real Madrid and El Clasico on Thursday.
Fati came on as a substitute in Barcelona’s 2-1 defeat of Manchester United in the European League yesterday.
The Catalan club has injuries, including those sustained by Pedri in the first leg against Manchester United and Osman Dembele in the La Liga match against Girona.
