Flick ready to try Ansu Fati in new position after injury return
The attacker could come back from a foot injury soon
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is preparing to try Ansu Fati in a new position once the young attacker returns from a foot injury, according to a new report.
Matteo Moretto of Relevo says Flick will see if Ansu can play as Robert Lewandowski’s backup at the striker position, which is lacking depth after the departures of Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque this summer.
Fati suffered a foot injury in the first week of preseason training and hasn’t returned since, but there is optimism that he could be back shortly after the international break, and his coach wants to see if Ansu can play up front to try and maximize his goalscoring skills.
Flick has already tried Ferran Torres at striker in Saturday’s 7-0 win over Valladolid and saw very positive results with the Shark scoring the seventh goal with one of his very first touches as a substitute, and the coach hopes that either Ferran or Ansu can provide enough goalscoring threat to replace Lewandowski if and when the Pole is rested or rotated.
Do you think Ansu Fati can become a solid backup striker under Hansi Flick, Barça fans? Let us know in the comments below!
