The situation
The recovery of Ansu Fati is proving to be a slow process, but surely in which the young striker who turned 20 last Monday will have to arm himself with patience in search of a point of effectiveness that will come sooner or later but that has not yet has reached and that can compromise their presence in the World Cup in Qatar. From the locker room, both the technicians and the doctors continue to recommend patience, especially since the player decided not to have surgery after his bad experience in the first interventions he suffered after his meniscus tear two years ago.Xavi continues to give him minutes in a total show of confidence and he is one of the few players on the team who has played in all the games played so far with six appearances in the Champions League and twelve in LaLiga, although he has only started five times (three in LaLiga and two in the highest European competition). The problem that can overwhelm Ansu and against which the coaching staff is fighting is that his great virtue, which is effectiveness in front of goal, has been affected. He lacks that point that distinguished him from other players, but from the bench they try to convince him not to get overwhelmed, that magic is not lost and it is a matter of finding the point again, which always costs after such a long injury.
The details
Even so, Ansu has scored three goals in LaLiga and little by little he is regaining confidence, but it cannot be hidden that he is far from his optimal version and that, together with the anxiety caused by the imminent publication of the squad list for the World Cup , doesn’t help either. From the medical point of view, it is about helping the player based on muscular strengthening work to try to compensate for his rejection of the operating room against the opinion of the doctors.
