In the absence of strikers, Valverde surprised by calling against Betis Ansu Fati, Juvenile A player who, at 16, will have his chance

The FC Barcelona is having very bad luck with the injuries in this initial stretch of season. Especially in the forward because, after traspasar to Malcom to the Zenith of St. Petersburg and to yield to Philippe Coutinho to the Bayern of Munich by 'overbooking' of attackers, Ernesto Valverde has seen as almost the whole of his forwards have fallen lesionados.

First it fell Leo Messi with a muscular injury in his first training of which has not been able to recover to time to play against the Real Betis. The split suspender belt of the first day also went out very expensive to the Barcelona, since Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé fell also lesionados muscularmente and will not play until after the stop of selections.

Thus, Ernesto Valverde has had to take important decisions of face to the duel of this Sunday in the Camp Nou against the Andalusians and the most surprising has been that Ansu Fati, player of the Juvenile To of Víctor Valdés that only it has 16 years, has gone in in the list of summoned in spite of that not even it had made the pre-season with the first team.

This born forward in Guinea Bissau in 2002 only has had a week of trainings with the first team of the FC Barcelona, but seems that it has been sufficient to convince to Valverde of his quality. Especially surprising is that the Txingurri have bet by him by in front of Abel Ruiz, that yes was during the pre-season.

If Ansu Fati played this Sunday against the Real Betis in the Camp Nou, would turn into the second younger footballer of the history of the FC Barcelona in contesting an official party with the first team with 16 years and 298 days, surpassing to Vicente Martínez, that did it with 16 years and 278 days.

Talent and goals

Ansu Fati Only has needed a week of trainings so that Valverde consider him a good solution of emergency to cover the drops of the forward in the first team. It treats of a forward habilidoso, technician and with desborde, although it also stands out for having a big capacity goleadora.
