Hi community!
Market closes in Türkiye on Tuesday.
Ansu Fati has been left out of the squad list, again. Hansi Flick's message could not be clearer: the youth player will not have any minutes in the team. Against this backdrop, there are only two days left until the transfer window closes in Turkey, next Tuesday, February 11. Maximum pressure for the Blaugrana.
Fati was left out of the squad against Valencia, for last Thursday's match in the Cup. And tonight, history repeated itself. Barcelona usually announces the squad in the morning, before travelling, but today it decided not to make it public. In fact, the absence of the attacker was known when Barça announced the starting eleven and the bench, in which Fati did not appear.
"It was a team decision, that's all I can say. I also said that yesterday in the press conference. I spoke to him frankly. We are working on it and it is giving very good results. He is very close to the team and that is what I want to see from him, and it is really fantastic to see that," explained Hansi Flick before the match.
Since January, the youth player has been absent. He travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Super Cup, but remained in the stands for both the semi-final against Athletic and the final against Real Madrid. He was also not called up on 15 January for the round of 16 of the Cup against Betis, nor, three days later, for the match at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
In fact, since November 23, Ansu Fati has only played 29 minutes in Barbastro, although it must be taken into account that he was injured at the end of 2024.
Ansu Fati is having very few opportunities this season. Although he started the pre-season very well, an injury in the middle of summer preparation cut short the player's progress. In fact, throughout the campaign he has only participated in 8 matches, four in La Liga, three in the Champions League and one in the Cup. A total of 186 minutes. And he can only boast one start, precisely against Sevilla in the first round.
See You soon!
