Barcelona youngster is ‘100% fit’ heading into the 2022/23 season

While transfer news and speculations have dominated the Barcelona circles through the past few months, a recent report from Diario AS has offered a welcome update on the fitness of Ansu Fati.

As per the report, it appears the young winger has fully recovered from his injury and could not be in better physical shape. It is welcome news for Barcelona, especially with just over a month remaining before the season gets underway.

Fati was discharged from the hospital two months ago and he returned to training soon after. But the attacker had not fully recovered from the hamstring issue either due to physical discomfort or lack of confidence.

However, Fati has overcome such issues and is moving ahead of schedule in his bid to return and start the 2022/23 campaign on a positive note. The youngster has been responding greatly in training and has been involved in the preparations since day 1.

There is a positive attitude he has developed throughout the past few weeks. It could go a long way in helping him mentally recover from his injury woes in the past and start the new season with a bang.

Barcelona are aware of the sporting advantages of having Fati back from injury. The explosive winger has the ability to make the difference in the final third, while his knack for scoring goals could add an edge to Barça’s attacking setup, especially if the club also manage to land Robert Lewandowski this summer.

From a tactical perspective, Fati should ideally compete with Ferran Torres on the left flank. With the latter not being able to live up to his expectations since January, the onus will be on Fati to provide the goods in the final third and help Barcelona form a deadly attacking setup upfront.
