Ansu Fati took another step this Monday to return to the pitch. After undergoing an MRI and several stress tests to verify the condition of the biceps femoris in his left leg, the doctors gave the go-ahead for him to start group sessions progressively. In fact, this Monday he barely participated twenty minutes with his teammatesbeing more of a contact than anything else, but enough to confirm the good feelings.
From here he still has a long way to go: the forecasts for his return remain in about three weeks. Thus, if there is no setback, it would be from the second half of April when the doors would open to a possible return, with two dates marked on the calendar: on April 18 in the match against Cádiz at the Camp Nou or a week later, on April 24, in the postponed match against Rayo Vallecano.
Doctors are not going to take any risk, aware that there is a high rate of relapse if you run more than necessary or try to speed up the return. We are talking about a player who has suffered two relapses this season and that a third would force him to undergo surgery and spend four more months on leave. Hence, her injury is managed with the utmost caution.
The forecasts in the club are that the player will need a minimum of ten complete training sessions to start considering medical discharge. Although, as always in these cases, it will be his feelings that end up setting the times.
