Ansu Fati: already a setback at Monaco?
One month after his arrival at AS Monaco, Ansu Fati has yet to set foot on the pitch.
On loan from FC Barcelona in a bid to reignite a career hampered by injuries, the 22-year-old winger remains on the bench. And that situation could persist. Monaco head coach Adi Hütter has confirmed that the Spaniard is following a personalized program. The goal: to avoid any relapse and gradually bring him back to peak form:
We need to be cautious with Ansu. He needs time to get back up to speed without risking anything.
Absent from the pre-season matches, Fati could also miss the start of the campaign. It’s another blow in a long series for the player once tipped by Barcelona as Messi’s heir. Monaco holds a purchase option, but if this dry spell continues, a return to Catalonia seems inevitable… with no guarantees of playing time.
