Fati suffers hip injury in Barcelona training
Barcelona forward Ansu Fati has sustained a hip injury during training as the start of the club's LaLiga campaign moves closer.
Fati suffered a contusion to his right hip as he took part in a session on Friday.
"He is out and his recovery will determine his availability," a Barca statement confirmed.
The problem is expected to rule Fati out of Sunday's (AEST) friendly against Gimnastic.
Barca is due to begin its league campaign on the weekend of 26-27 September at home to Villarreal, with Fati likely to receive a bigger role under new head coach Ronald Koeman this season.
The 17-year-old scored seven times in 24 league outings in 2019-2020, just 11 of which were starts.
Fati made a magnificent start to his Spain career during the international break, becoming the country's youngest goalscorer in a UEFA Nations League match against Ukraine three days after making his debut against Germany.
