Ansu fati He will go through the operating room this Monday to correct his left meniscus tear that occurred against Betis after Mandi’s entry at half an hour into the game, a foul that led to the penalty that Antoine Griezmann ended up missing. Fati has visited Dr. Ramón Cugat, a prestigious knee specialist traumatologist. The doctor will be in charge of directing the surgical intervention under the supervision of the Barcelona medical services. Right now two options are considered. A more conservative first, which would consist of suturing the meniscus and being away from the playing fields for about half a year, or a second that would contemplate the definitive extraction of the meniscus, which would keep him only three months out.
In any case, Ansu Fati will miss the remainder of the first phase of the Champions League (three games against Dinamo Kiev, Ferencvaros and Juventus), and a minimum of twelve league games. Koeman shall look now for solutions in attack after the injury of its most decisive striker in this start of the League. Since making his debut last year under Ernesto Valverde, Ansu Fati has played a total of 43 games with the first team, scoring 13 goals and adding three assists.

Precisely, it will also be an important loss for Luis Enrique, who has decided to summon Marco Asensio to make up for the loss of Barça during this league break due to selection commitments.
Considering the youth of the footballer, the normal thing is that they do not intend to precipitate their return and bet on a preserved and less aggressive treatment than the meniscus removal. “Being an internal meniscus, with the age of the player and its projection, I would try to save the meniscus”, explained the doctor Jordi Ardévol, former head of Barcelona’s medical services, at Mundo Deportivo. “If the type of tear allows it to be sutured and not removed, it has to be done. I, with my patients who also practice sports, I have a minimum of four months’ leave, “he insisted. In the same vein, the Dr. Jordi Surós, director of the Sportcat High Performance Medical Center. “Without having seen the evidence, when there is a lesion in the medial meniscus, there is surely an associated bone edema and a small fissure in the condiffemoral. I am in favor of suturing the meniscus and do a conservative treatment. The quick thing is to remove the meniscus but taking into account that Ansu is only 18 years old, we must try to saturate the meniscus through arthroscopy, “he explains while adding that in order not to take risks,” I am in favor of him not coming back sooner. of the four months ».
