The young Barça striker had to leave the San Mamés game at the start of extra time after jumping onto the pitch at game time
Ansu Fati was injured again and had to retire at the start of extra time in the Athletic-Barça match, in the 96th minute. The young Barça striker was disputing a ball on the Athletic field with Iñigo Martínez when he suffered a new muscle injury that forced him to leave after having jumped onto the pitch to replace Ferran Jutglà in the 60th minute.
The Spanish footballer of Guinean origin left the field with a sore thigh and a very bad face, on his way to the changing rooms, after another slowdown in his progression after having reappeared last week in Saudi Arabia, coming off the bench and with a goal, in the semifinal of the Super Cup against Real Madrid.
At 19 years old, Ansu Fati has gone through a ‘viacrucis’ from which he began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, after the serious meniscus injury that kept him out for a year. His last muscle injury already set off the alarms in Barcelona, but Ansu Fati was able to reappear in the Super Cup (he played 55 minutes) and this Thursday he returned to the pitch at the time of the match in San Mamés. Until unfortunately it broke again.
Pedri, who requested the substitution in the 103rd minute, was also injured again, after having scored the goal that led to extra time in the cupbearer duel against Athletic in the 92nd minute. The Canarian midfielder who, like Ansu Fati, has just overcome an injury, he was also the victim of another muscle injury and it is unknown how long he will have to be out.
