Barcelona lose Fati for a long time

Barcelona and Spanish national team striker Enso Fati faces a long absence from the stadiums after Barcelona confirmed on Saturday evening that he had a torn left knee cartilage.


Fati, 18, was injured after Real Betis's Issa Mandi fell on the pitch during the first half of the two teams' match on Saturday.


Fati will not join the Spanish national team, which is preparing to meet Germany and Switzerland in the European Nations League.


Fati will definitely miss Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid within two weeks and will face great difficulty returning to the stadium this year.


Barcelona did not specify the period necessary for the player's recovery, but Spanish media estimated his absence between three and five months.


Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said, "He did not feel comfortable between the two halves of the match, so we changed him" ... and that before the medical tests revealed the extent of his injury.
