Barcelona are sweating on the severity of a hamstring injury that forced Ansu Fati out of Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Celta Vigo at half-time.
Fati scored the opening goal of the game inside the first five minutes of the contest and Barça looked on course for a comfortable win in the final game under the leadership of interim head coach Sergi Barjuan, who now makes way for returning legend Xavi.
The Catalans were cruising at 3-0 at the end of the opening 45 minutes. But Fati didn’t return for the second half in Vigo and his teammates ultimately lost their way.
Celta had the ball in the next five times in the second half. Fortunately for Barça, only three of them counted thanks to offside and handball decisions from the officials.
Worryingly, more injury trouble looks to be responsible for Fati’s premature exit.
