The good news for Barca fans is Ansu Fati will reportedly be set to return to Barcelona for the pre-season this month, having been working his way back from a serious knee injury that kept him out of action most of last season.
The biggest concern for Fati and Barca supporters has been his continual setbacks amidst the recovery, which were all too reminiscent of Ousmane Dembele’s multiple injury setbacks over the last couple of years.
Fati is now in the routine of training alone for some time while he works his way back to full fitness, after which he’ll then return to join the team training sessions before hopefully getting some game time in a few friendly matches. There’s even optimism he will be in the squad for the first game of the season.
The league season kicks off with Barcelona’s first game against Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou on 14-15 August and it’d do wonders to have Fati back in the mix.
