The FC Barcelona star’s problems just don’t seem to end as he has now picked up a hamstring injury in his left hamstring against Athletic Club.
However that wasn’t the only issue Barcelona had against Athletic Club earlier this week, as they lost the match 3-2 in extra time to be disqualified from the Copa Del Rey and thus, are unable to defend their title.
Now Barcelona, who did play well against Athletic have had 2 big tournament exits as they lost the el clasico for the Supercopa de España and now the Copa Del Rey Round of 16. With Ansu Fati returning from his knee injury after so many months, it seemed like Xavi could finally use the 19 year old star and new number 10 properly and embrace the youth.
However with this injury, Fati is expected to be out of action for another month almost as Barcelona get back to La Liga competition against Alaves tonight and soon start their Europa League campaign in February as they get ready to face Benfica.
