Barcelona’s Ansu Fati sustains hamstring injury

ISTANBUL

Barcelona announced on Wednesday that their left winger Ansu Fati has suffered an injury setback.

“Ansu Fati suffered a right hamstring injury at training on Wednesday morning. He will be out for approximately four weeks,” Barca said in a statement.

Fati, born in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau, moved to Spain and became a citizen in 2019.

The 22-year-old produced 29 goals and 10 assists in 119 appearances for the Spanish football club.

Fati currently holds the title of the youngest player to score a goal in UEFA Champions League (UCL) history.

The winger became the UCL’s youngest goalscorer in a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in 2019 — at the age of 17 years and 40 days.
