Fati to undergo second knee operation at Barcelona as he is ruled out of season end and European Championship

Ansu Fati is set to undergo a second knee operation at Barcelona, with the 18-year-old seeing his 2020-21 campaign brought to a close and European Championship dreams dashed.

The talented teenager, who topped the 2021 Goal NXGN chart, first went under the knife back in November but has failed to recover as hoped from ligament damage.

Mundo Deportivo were the first to report that Fati must pay another visit to the operating table and Goal can confirm that plans are in place for that to happen next week, possibly on Thursday, May 13.
