Ansu Fati, bad luck or a physique incompatible with elite football?

The FC Barcelona communicated this Wednesday that Ansu Fati has suffered an injury in the plant of the right foot and will subject to a conservative treatment, by what does not have time of recovery estimated and besides will not be able to travel to United States to play the three friendly of turns it of pre-season of the Barcelona team. Like this, the attacker culé adds a new injury in his short career, one that clearly has remained marked by his bad luck, or predisposition, with the physical problems.

And it is that since on 7 November 2020, when it suffered the break of the internal meniscus of the left knee in a party against the Real Betis, Ansu Fati has not been able to be the same. The forward of the Barça has chained since several injuries that have prevented him can confirm all the potential that showed when it burst into in the first Catalan team with alone 17 years.

A history that began does long and continues extending

The ordeal of Ansu Fati follows extending after having been 305 days of drop by the injury meniscal of 2020, happening later by that remembered moment in November of 2021 with the break of the biceps femoral of the left leg suffered in Balaídos. Absent two months more than the terrains of game, the attacker descartó go through the operating theatre, as they recommended him the medical services of the club, and opted by a conservative treatment that neither gave resulted because it went back to fall in January of 2022 in Saint Mamés and took three months in going back to be to disposal of the Barça.

Already the previous course, in which it opted for being yielded to Brighton. An injury in the twin separated him then during three months of the terrains of game and no longer recover the chevrons that had when it announced his arrival to the Premier. Like this, the Barcelona club, the barcelonismo and even the same player, seem to understand that the injuries do not allow that it can fulfil the expectations that created from 2019, when it arrived to First Division and implanted several records precocity with the Barça, and also with Spain.

Ansu Has not been able to recover these feelings of his start with the Barça

In his first season finish marking 8 goals in 33 parties, creating an absolute illusion inside the fans culé, and doing him merecedor even to inherit the dorsal 10 of Leo Messi, when the Argentinian left in 2021. But since, the injuries simply have not allowed him have regularity, leaving it even without being able to reach still, for example, the 30 goals with the first team, after marking 8 in little more than half season, if we take into account his duels contested.

Now, his future inside the elite seems to complicate even more, especially because it found trying convince to the trainer Hansi Flick that it deserved to recover a square in the staff in place to go out yielded once again. Although it is clear that still is early in the course, that there is not a clear way for his return to the field already creates an environment of déjà vu with regard to the others injuries of the player.
