Ansu Fati has completed the first stage of his recovery. After being operated on by Dr. Ramon Cugat on Monday at the Quiron Clinic in Barcelona, the Barcelona forward was given the green light to return home on Friday. He was captured leaving the clinic by a number of outlets, including Deportes La Sexta.
Fati, 18, will not play again for the next four months after tearing the meniscus in his left knee in last Saturday's 5-2 win against Real Betis at Camp Nou.
The injury was picked up in the first half, and earned Barca a penalty, which Antoine Griezmann missed, but Fati played on for another 15 minutes before eventually coming off at half-time.
Barça confirmed on Monday after his surgery with Dr. Cugat that he the teenage forward will not play again for approximately four months, ruling him out until around March.
Fati will now continue his recovery at home after leaving the Quiron Clinic following a four-night stay.
