Hansi Flick 'erases' Ansu Fati from his rotation plan

Ansu Fati added his third consecutive day without adding minutes in LaLiga. The '10' once again entered Hansi Flick's squad for the visit to Osasuna, a match where the Barça coach opted to make massive rotations. However, the one from Bissau did not enter into the coach's plans, since Pau Víctor and Ferran Torres occupied the positions of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, who rested for the first time in the season.

For the 21-year-old winger, the injury suffered during the preseason continues to take its toll. Flick was very satisfied with the image shown by the youth player in his first training sessions, considering him an interesting option for the left side and as a false '9', but things have changed two months later. At the moment, Ansu barely played a couple of minutes in the Champions League against Monaco, while in the League he still hasn't made his debut.

With Barça trying to get back into the game after Pau Víctor's goal, the coach refreshed the offensive trident with the additions of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Ten minutes later, seeing that the team did not react, Flick preferred to remove Robert Lewandowski so that Marc Casadó entered, a change that ended up burying the hopes of making his debut in the League for the one from Bissau. Alejandro Balde also entered in that window for Gerard Martín.

At the end, with the game practically finished, the Heidelberg team exhausted its last variant with the entry of Héctor Fort, a change forced by Sergi Domínguez's cramps. Thus, Ansu left El Sadar, the stadium where he scored his first official goal for Barça in 2019, with a bitter feeling and serious doubts about what his role will be in 2024/25. Clearly, Ferran Torres and Pau Víctor have an advantage in the fight for a position.
