How long will Barcelona star Ansu Fati be sidelined?

An insight into the predicted length of absence facing Barcelona star Ansu Fati has on Wednesday been forthcoming.

The name of wide-man Ansu has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital once more across the day to date.

Unfortunately for the Spanish international, however, this has come for altogether less than positive reasons.

After taking to the training pitch alongside the rest of Hansi Flick’s squad this morning, Ansu was forced into a premature departure.

This came owing to an injury, since described by Barcelona as a foot problem, requiring ‘conservative treatment’.

So, just how long is Ansu likely to be out of action?

An insight into as much has this evening been provided, by Blaugrana insider Toni Juanmartí.

Fortunately, it would appear that the 21-year-old’s latest issue is not a serious one, attributed to little more than ‘a strong stomp in training’.

This comes amid the assurance that Ansu should be back in action in ‘around three weeks’.
