After Pedri's knee sprain and Araujo's hamstring injury, Barca faces another setback as their most promising player gets ruled out from the Preseason. The last few weeks had gone somewhat smooth for Barcelona and then this heartbreak arrived.
Unfortunately, the player who had been the standout star in the training sessions so far, finds himself ruled out from the Preseason. Fati, who had been giving his 100% in pre-season training, was showcasing glimpses of his true potential, has faced an injury on his right sole.
Heartbreak for Barca star as he gets ruled out from Preseason
Not only is this a huge setback for FC Barcelona, but Fati has probably missed the most vital opportunity to step into the Barcelona lineup directly. The youngster did everything possible to improve himself, was feeling good, and was showing the vigour to fight for a spot in the eleven, but this injury ruined his chances to perform in the Preseason.
Being the most impressive performer in the training sessions, Hansi Flick and Barca had huge hopes for the youngster. Moreover, Fati's foot injury might prove fatal for his club career as well as Barca career.
Given, the options in Barca's wing force, having the likes of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and possibly Nico Williams, this was an important chance for Fati to reverse his fortune after having some forgettable last seasons.
Though further reports regarding the youngster's injury are yet to arrive, it has been declared that he would miss the US Preseason tour. Considering Barca's injury woes, Flick would hope that the player returns to the squad as soon as possible and this injury doesn't affect his footballing career.
