In the late afternoon of August 24, Beijing time, Barcelona training base ushered in a familiar figure - 18-year-old star Fathi. Since suffering a serious knee injury on November 7 last year, Fathi has been absent from the field for more than nine months, and now he finally returned to the training ground, heralding the approach of the comeback battle.
After two surgeries, Fathi has fully recovered from his knee and is now making steady progress towards his goal of returning to action. The talented youngster, who rose through the ranks of La Masia's youth academy, has appeared in 33 games in the 2019-20 season, contributing eight goals and eight assists and making his name in several all-time records.
With Messi's departure, Barcelona's attacking line is facing challenges. Fati's comeback has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the team, and the 18-year-old is about to bring new vigor to the team.
Spanish media revealed that Fati is expected to make a comeback after the national team match day, meanwhile, Ter Stegen will also return to the field soon. The return of these two big players will undoubtedly enable Barcelona to remain the favorite to win the La Liga this season.
After a long wait, Fathi's return will bring new hope to Barcelona. Let's all look forward to the young talent's wonderful performance on the field!
