A

Ansu Fati

's going to play now live again the bitter side of football.

After a start to the season with

Ronald Koeman

on the completely dazzling bench, with

five goals in ten games

, four in seven in the League and one in three in the Champions League, he will have to spend an indeterminate time in dry dock.

The Barça club confirmed through a statement that it suffers a

tear of the internal meniscus of the left knee

.

And, for now, he prefers not to detail the treatment that will be followed to recover it or how long he will have to stay away from the pitch.

The injury, in this case, would be the product of

Mandi's

hard tackle

which would mean the first of the two penalties indicated in favor of the Catalans and that

Antoine Griezmann

sent into the hands of Claudio Bravo.

In case of opting for a surgical treatment, there are two ways: to remove it or to suture it.

If you choose the second option, you must be a minimum of between

two and a half months and three months off

.

In the case of withdrawing it, it would be around a

month off

, but the consequences, being a young player (he turned 18 on October 31) could be very negative.

Although years ago the meniscus was generally considered to have no significant function, it has been found to play a crucial role in preserving

cartilage in the knee

.

Something absolutely vital for a footballer.

And, in addition, without this structure, the risk of suffering from osteoarthritis is increased.

The knee has already given Ansu Fati several headaches since he made his debut as a player in the Barça first team.

Last season, a

discomfort in the tendons of the right knee

forced him to stop for eight days in September 2019 and four more days in December.

The hip, on the other hand, has also led him down the path of bitterness.

A trauma in this area led him to be unemployed for ten days at the end of last year and he also had to stop for a week at the beginning of this season due to this same circumstance.

The most serious injury suffered by Ansu Fati so far, however, he suffered it almost

five years ago

.

On December 13, 2015, in a match against Espanyol when the young 'crack' from Barcelona was part of the Infantil A azulgrana, he suffered a

broken tibia and fibula

in his right leg that forced him to be ten months away from the grass.

A hard tackle from a rival defender was the only way to stop his run towards the opposing goal, in an action that almost smelled like a goal.

That injury, which he knew how to face then with great integrity, practically forced him to mature suddenly.

Now, at his best, he has to pass one of the toughest tests again.
