Ansu Fati is discharged from hospital and will be able to sleep at home

Ansu Fati has a long recovery ahead of him, which in the best of cases will allow him to return to the pitch at the end of February. But until then it has to be burning stages and meeting the deadlines. This Friday he left the hospital, after having been admitted for five days, protected by a mask and with the help of a wheelchair that his mother was pushing, according to what the cameras of La Sexta were able to capture.

The player, what had arthroscopy on Monday to suture the medial meniscus in his left knee by surgeon Ramon Cugat, he will now have a month of home rehabilitation, where a physiotherapist from the club will attend to start the first ice treatments to help reduce inflammation. In theory, it will not be until the third month that Fati can start a continuous career and field work, since by then the meniscus scar will already be perfectly consolidated.

During the first days at home you will have to stay at rest to stabilize your knee. Little by little, you will begin with the first rehabilitation guidelines, so that the mechanisms of the knee gradually recover their motor skills. It is evident that this long time of convalescence will be very hard for him and more so seeing that his teammates have such a demanding calendar ahead, with LaLiga, the Champions League, the Cup and the Spanish Super Cup in contention.

Luckily for Koeman, the imminent recovery of Philippe Coutinho, who is in the final stretch of his hamstring injury, could alleviate the loss of Fati in attack for the next commitments.
