Barcelona confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that winger Ansu Fati would be sidelined for four weeks due to a hamstring injury.
Since making his debut as a teenager in 2019, the 22-year-old Spain international has experienced a number of injury issues in previous seasons.
“Ansu Fati has suffered a muscle injury (to his right hamstring) during training on Wednesday. He is expected to be out for around four weeks,” said La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Fati is set to miss the club’s Champions League match against French side Brest on November 26, as well as La Liga matches against Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Mallorca and Real Betis.
Winger Lamine Yamal, who broke Fati’s record as the youngest ever Barcelona player and goalscorer, is also out injured for around three weeks with an ankle problem.
Veteran Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has a minor back issue, while Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo and others are also sidelined.
