Barcelona’s 22-year-old winger, Ansu Fati, will be sidelined for approximately four weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during training on Wednesday, the club confirmed. This latest injury marks another unfortunate chapter in Fati’s career, which has been plagued by various injuries since his breakout as a teenager in 2019.

The Spain international’s absence will impact Barcelona’s upcoming fixtures, including their Champions League clash against French side Brest on November 26, as well as La Liga matches against Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Real Betis.
