The forward could return to face Real Madrid on Thursday

FC Barcelona striker Ansu Fati has suffered a bruised left knee and is out of Sunday's game against Almeria, the club said on Friday. However, the '10' is not ruled out for the next game, the Copa del Rey derby (first leg) at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday 2 March.

On paper, Ansu Fati's injury, a contusion in his left knee suffered in Friday's training session, will not prevent the striker from being able to line up if Xavi Hernández considers it necessary in the Real Madrid-Barça Copa del Rey on Thursday 2 March at the Bernabeu (21.00). In fact, the Barça statement adds that "the evolution of the player will determine his availability".

The absence of Ansu Fati this Sunday against Almeria (18.30 CET), in the 23rd La Liga match of the season, is in addition to those of Ousmane Dembele and Pedri. The Frenchman joined the infirmary on 28 January against Girona and the Canary Islander on 16 February, in the match against Manchester United at Camp Nou.
