Ansu Fati has never been the same since his injury in the early stage, despite the promising signs he showed. Fati, a player expected to sit on the throne after Leo exited, was not being his former self and struggled to get any minutes.

From Brighton back to Barcelona, Ansu Fati has failed to impress Hansi Flick, who has repeatedly kept the player out of his squad list. To make matters worse, the Spaniard has experienced a new chapter in his predicaments in the club.

Ansu Fati Sits Out in Group Training

According to Diario Sport, Ansu Fati played no part in group training with the rest of the club’s squad on Saturday.

According to Sport, due to fever, Barça’s La Masia-trained forward has yet to play.

It remains to be seen whether Ansu will be cleared medically to join Barcelona’s squad to face Real Sociedad tomorrow evening. Even if removed, the 22-year-old has no assurance of being called up.

The Barcelona player would need to find minutes outside the club to prove that the player is not in the coach’s plans.

With the dominance of Raphinha on the left wing and the reports about reinforcement in that position, Fati’s place in the team appears far from guaranteed.
