Ansu Fati won’t be rushed back into Barcelona starting XI despite scoring return against Levante, insists Koeman

The Dutchman has revealed that the teenage forward was “very tired” after his substitute appearance in La Liga at the weekend
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has insisted that Ansu Fati won’t be rushed back into his starting XI, despite scoring on his return to action against Levante.

Ansu suffered a serious knee injury in November 2020 which kept him out of action for 10 months, but he was finally able to make his long-awaited return to the pitch during Barca’s latest La Liga outing on Sunday.

The 18-year-old scored after coming off the bench for the final 10 minutes against Levante to wrap up a 3-0 victory for the Blaugrana, marking his first appearance since inheriting Lionel Messi’s No.10 jersey in style.
