The teenager could go under the knife

Antoine Griezmann has sent a message of support to Barcelona team-mate Ansu Fati after the club confirmed on Saturday the teenager has suffered a knee injury.

Fati was taken off at half-time of the win over Real Betis and now looks set for some considerable time on the sidelines.

Grizmann took to Instagram to offer a few words of motivation for Fati who may be set for surgery.

It’s still not clear yet how long Fati might be out for. Speculation suggests anywhere between four weeks and four months currently, depending on whether he undergoes an operation.

Barcelona are expected to offer an update on Fati’s treatment plan, and we’ll bring you all the latest as soon as it happens. Keep your fingers crossed.
