Imminent meeting with Ansu Fati

As AS has learned, the club has not yet ruled out convincing the player to go to the operating room as the best alternative to solve his injury to the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris in his left leg. The doctors have an appointment today with Ansu Fati to finish making a decision. The player, from the first moment, has been very reluctant to undergo surgery, as we advance in this newspaper. His position has remained inflexible, supported by people close to him, such as the physiotherapist Joaquín Juan, who was hand in hand with him during his rehabilitation from the meniscal injury.

In any case, from the club Fati will be insisted on the need for the operation to definitively correct his hamstring injury, with the alibi that in the end the recovery time will not last more than three months, while if he finally opts for conservative therapy, the minimum time would be between 8 to 10 weeks.

In addition, the fact that it is placed in the hands of a world leader in hamstring injuries, the Finnish Lasse Lempainen, is also an asset that will try to strengthen the club, putting Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto, as examples.

In any case, in the next few hours Fati’s final decision will be known, who today remains firm in his decision not to have surgery, assuming the intrinsic risk of not guaranteeing a possible relapse.

And it is that it continues to weigh heavily on his decision, the trauma that he lived through for almost a year, with four interventions in the meniscus of the left knee, to overcome an injury that the doctors had predicted in four months off.
