Official: Barcelona attacker suffers knee injury in training

Barcelona have been having some terribly poor luck with injuries this season. Multiple absences in the defence acted as a catalyst to their Champions League exit, while knocks to Pedri, Ousmane Dembele meant they could not see off Manchester United in the Europa League.

To make matters worse, Barcelona have officially confirmed a knee injury to Ansu Fati. The Spaniard picked up a contusion his left knee. The official statement does not confirm the extent of the injury, though.

The youngster is expected to go through more tests tomorrow, which will determine his availability for the games next month. The good news, however, is, that the injury is not on his hamstring, which was looking like an area of concern for his knocks.

Fati has been playing as a backup to Dembele and Raphinha on the wings this season, but more recently has lost his place to Gavi, too. Even Ferran Torres seems to be ahead of the winger in the pecking order as of now.
