Ansu Fati is back in the Barcelona squad for the Champions League match against Monaco, according to the club’s announcement on Wednesday. This marks a significant moment for the young forward as he aims to make his mark after a challenging period of recovery.
At just 21 years old, Fati’s inclusion in the lineup for Thursday’s match could signal his first appearance of the season for the Catalan giants. Fans are eager to see how he performs after being sidelined for so long.
His right foot injury occurred during training shortly after he returned from a loan spell at Brighton, where he sought to regain his form. This setback has kept him off the pitch since 2023, creating anticipation around his comeback.
With Fati’s return, Barcelona hopes to bolster their attacking options, although coach Hansi Flick will still have to manage without several key players due to injuries, including Dani Olmo, Gavi, Ronald Araujo, and Frenkie de Jong.
As the team prepares for this crucial matchup, Fati’s presence could provide a much-needed spark, and fans will be watching closely to see if he can deliver in the high-stakes environment of the Champions League.
