REVEALED: Xavi Went Against Doctors Orders To Field Fati In Bilbao Clash
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has revealed that he did adhere properly to doctors instructions by playing Ansu Fati in their Copa Del Rey match with Athletico Bilbao.
"Ansu is upset," Xavi said.
"On Monday, there will be another meeting and we will decide, but we have spoken with his family, it is a relapse.
"Dr Pruna said that it is best if he played 30-35 minutes, but he played more due to extra time, Fati said he was okay to continue.”.
Fati picked up a hamstring injury in extra time during the game and risks missing up to 3 months of action.
He could even be ruled out for the season.
