The Barcelona starlet’s injury situation explained"},"content":{"rendered":"

Barcelona starlet and Spanish international Ansu Fati has faced multiple setbacks on his road to returning from knee surgery in November – likely a repair procedure of the “internal meniscus”<\/a> (AKA the medial\/inner meniscus, which is a force-distributing and force-absorbing piece of cartilage tissue that sits between the knee joint) that initially had a return timeline of three to four months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout his course of treatment, the Barcelona medical staff has used “regenerative biological” treatment<\/a> to expedite recovery and ramped up the player’s activity levels and then back down multiple times, with the player currently in a two-week ramp up.<\/p>\n

Fati recently posted on Instagram about the prolonged recovery and how he’s approaching it:<\/p>\n
