Alarm bells go off, Brighton reports bad news

Ansu Fati has been in the news again, but this time again due to misfortune, since a new muscle injury will keep him away from football for about three months as confirmed by Barça's diagnosis this Thursday, when Ansu went to the Ciutat Esportiva del Barça to be explored by the Barça club's medical services. Brighton coach, Roberto de Zerbi, was the first to set off all the alarms by announcing that they were not going to have Fati for a long period of time.

The Blaugrana club reacted quickly to the pessimistic message from the Italian coach, contacting the player to find out the extent of the injury, in addition to the English club's medical services. The reports coming from England could not be more pessimistic, a rupture of the femoral biceps in his right leg. The estimated sick leave time will not be less than eight weeks, although in principle it could be extended to ten.

One more injury in Fati's already extensive clinical history, which has accumulated up to four serious injuries. The first, and most painful, was not exactly muscular but meniscal. A series of circumstances, between errors and misfortune, led the player to have four operations on his left knee, spending almost a year off the playing field. This chain of inexplicable events led the striker to panic in the operating room.

His return to elite football was marked again by bad luck. An injury to the biceps femoris tendon in his left leg became a real quagmire, with the club's doctors advising surgical intervention and the player and his entourage categorically refusing. In the end, Fati's word carried more weight and he ended up opting for the conservative method, which took him more than three months to return to the playing fields. An injury from which he relapsed a few weeks later, due to the resignation of all parties, with the consequent frustration of the player, who saw his sporting career cut short.

Ansu's revenge

His return, after this new relapse, was not easy at all. The readaptation process was slow, he was still mentally blocked and had confidence problems in his game. So much so, that this summer it was decided, in agreement with Fati, that the best option was to reset in a foreign club, where he could enjoy football again. And Zerbi's Brighton appeared on the scene, an offensive and dynamic team that could provide Ansu with enough support to regain his sensations.
