Ansu Fati's dreadful luck with injuries continued on Wednesday when FC Barcelona confirmed that the forward has suffered a hamstring injury that is likely to sideline him for around a month.

The club posted on its official website that the 22-year-old "suffered a muscular injury in the biceps femoris of his right thigh during Wednesday's training session. As a result of the injury, he is expected to be out of action for about four weeks.

The injury will put on a break as he looks to recover his place in the team after seven brief first-team appearances (four in La Liga and three in the Champions League).

It's Fati's second injury of the campaign after a problem with his right foot that affected him in pre-season and a repeat on the problem that saw him out of action for almost three months, while on loan at Brighton last season.

Fati has struggled with muscle injuries since returning from a serious knee injury that he suffered in November 2020, with a torn hamstring he suffered while playing in Bilbao in January 2022, which saw him miss a further three months.
