According to Catalunya Ràdio, the appearance of Ansu Fati for the Ciutat Esportiva del Barça this Saturday could have been fleeting. The forward plans to return to Madrid to continue with the recovery of his injury to the meniscus in his left knee. Ansu had already been working in Madrid under the guidance of José Carlos Noronha, doctor for the Portuguese National Team. Ansu passed through Portugal but planted his base in Madrid, where he has been staying in a hotel and doing double work sessions.
Injured on November 7, 2020 in a match against Betis, Ansu was operated on by Dr. Cugat. But things didn't go well and the player has had to undergo new arthroscopies to clean the area. A complex situation that has generated tensions with the club's medical services and that ended with the player turning to other specialists. Jorge Mendes, the player's agent, approached Dr. Noronha, who now guards his recovery. The injury, which should have had a period of absence of four months, already goes for seven and threatens to get longer.
Ansu was this Saturday at the Ciutat Esportiva del Barça passing the serological tests and this Sunday he could also pass the ordinary medical examinations, but the door is open for him to continue working in Madrid until he is in a position to step back onto the pitch and touch the ball with his teammates, which he has been waiting for a long time.
