Fati’s injury comes at a time when he had been regaining form, but the latest setback has once again interrupted his progress.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s other young talent, Lamine Yamal, who recently broke Fati’s record as the youngest-ever player and scorer for the club, is also sidelined with an ankle injury, expected to be out for around three weeks.
The team is also dealing with injuries to several other key players, including Robert Lewandowski, Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo.
