Hansi Flick cautious with Ansu Fati

Ansu Fati finally sees the end of the tunnel with Barça. Victim of a new injury during the preseason, the Spanish international has made his return in recent weeks. However, Hansi Flick is being very careful with the former Brighton winger in line with his plan to get him back fit. The Barça coach only gave him around ten minutes against Monaco in the Champions League (1-2) for his first match of the season. Spared during the following matches, Ansu Fati was able to have thirty minutes against Young Boys (5-0) still in C1 before making his return to La Liga against Alaves on the last day (3-0).

Ansu Fati starting against Sevilla?

And one week before the Clasico, the 21-year-old winger could take advantage of Hansi Flick’s decision to take a break from his internationals to make his first start of the season against Sevilla this Sunday. “Ansu Fati has developed well with us and the truth is that it is also an option for him to start the match. He plays as a winger, but Raphinha is also there and he was spectacular,” the former Bayern Munich coach told the media.
