Barca forward Fati back in training after nine-month injury saga

BARCELONA: Barcelona's youngest ever goalscorer Ansu Fati returned to group training on Tuesday for the first time in more than nine months after a long injury saga, the club said.

Barca said on Twitter the forward, 18, had taken part in a section of the team's main training session, while Spanish newspaper Marca said the club hoped he could return to action against Sevilla on Sept. 11. Fati had scored four goals in six LaLiga starts last season before injuring the meniscus in his left knee in a 5-2 win over Real Betis in November 2020.
