Ansu Fati plants a little wonder for his return a year later

The young Barcelona prodigy Ansu Fati scored the 3-0 goal on Sunday for his comeback against Levante on Matchday 7 of La Liga, almost a year after his injury. Ansu Fati (18), revelation of the year 2020 on the Catalan side, came into play in the 81st minute wearing the N.10 inherited from Lionel Messi in place of Luuk de Jong, and scored the goal of 3-0 at the 90th + 1, from the entrance to the surface.

The young Spain international had not come into play since the fractured meniscus of his left knee he suffered on November 7, 2020 against Betis Sevilla. He celebrated his goal worn by all his teammates, then went directly to thank Barça’s doctor in the stands. After 322 days of absence and four operations in one year, Ansu Fati finally returned to his Camp Nou pitch, with a big smile, and was applauded by his home crowd.

“The day I put the crampons back on for the first practice, I asked the club for permission for my dad and brother to be there. When they saw me jump, run and play with the ball, they cried. Me too. It was a very moving day for my family, ”said Fati in an interview with Barça TV channel broadcast the day before his return.

“He will play 15 minutes at most,” Koeman warned on Saturday. “The important thing is to recover the player well, especially not to hurry,” said the technician at a press conference. “He still needs a lot to get him back to his previous form. He will not be able to find it in two games, in two weeks… it will take time, and we have to be patient and help the player. He is the most important. If he is fully recovered in November, it will be in November. If it can be before, so much the better, but it will depend on his condition, ”Koeman said.
