Third in the last Ligue 1 championship, AS Monaco qualified for the next Champions League. With this in mind, the Principality club has decided to strengthen. But he also chose to make a double bet: that of relaunching both Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati. Two very distinct cases and for the second, already some small concerns with a fitness that takes more time than expected.
The file is necessarily talking about the side of Spain. FC Barcelona nugget at its beginnings, Ansu Fati was toasted by the Catalan club which used it too much. As a result, the injuries have followed up and the international striker has no since found his starting level. Monaco chose to give him a chance by recruiting him in the form of a loan. But some hopes must already be revised downwards.
This Friday, Marca mentioned the situation by first recalling the words of Adi Hütter dating from July 16.
“Ansu Fati is a little closer to join the group than Paul Pogba. In Barcelona, he could not work as he should have, but I think that in ten or fifteen days, he will be present in training. »» Two weeks and six friendly games later, still no trace of Fat.
Monaco does not want to take any risk with Ansu Fat
And the presence of the player loaned by Barça for the first Ligue 1 match set for August 16 against Le Havre seems almost out of words. Again, it was Adi Hütter who spoke.
“It could be complicatedhe said.
I want him to come back as quickly as possible, but as we said at the start, we must be careful with Ansu. We don't want him to relapse or accumulate problems. »»
AS Monaco coach concluded: “We have to put it back in shape. He needs time to find the pace and integrate into the group. He would not be logical that he will come back to the field too quickly for him to injure himself again. »»
Monegasque supporters will still have to wait a few weeks.
