Barcelona youngster’s camp admits that the player is going through difficult moments, amid National team snub.
Currently, Ansu Fati is going through a difficult period in his relatively brief career.
The young player has had to wait his turn this season, as Xavi understandably introduced him to the action from the bench.
The prolific winger was expected to start in Barcelona’s most recent 3-0 victory against Elche, but the wonderkid was limited to the bench after experiencing a small muscular soreness before the game.
Fati had another setback when he learned that Luis Enrique had left him out of Spain’s squad for the next Nations League matches. His fitness issues are still a source for concern, and he has played sparingly so far.
As a result, it comes as no surprise to learn that Ansu Fati’s friends and family have claimed that the footballer is having a hard time, according to CuleMania (via FCB World).

It would not be surprising to learn that the 19-year-old is concerned about whether he will be able to make the grade given that the eagerly anticipated Qatar World Cup starts as soon as November.
After all, demonstrating his value on the field is the best way to sway Enrique’s judgment before he makes his final picks.
However, given the La Masia graduate’s concerning injury history and Xavi’s easing him in, that is easier said than done in this case.
The fact that Fati has only started one of Barcelona’s eight games in all competitions this season—in the UEFA Champions League against Viktoria Plzen—shows how cautious Xavi has been with him.
There is no disputing that the adolescent has a lot on his plate right now, even though it is thought that he will be improving his strength and conditioning over the international break.
At some point in their careers, every young player suffers highs and lows, and Ansu Fati is no different. And the supporters of Barcelona will hope that he comes out of this trying time victorious.
