Barcelona forward Ansu Fati faced challenges during his recovery from knee surgery, according to Dr. Ramon Cugat.
Dr. Cugat, who performed surgery on Fati after a meniscus tear in November 2020, expressed concerns about the player being overworked and experiencing multiple injuries since then. Fati’s recovery process, which lasted over 300 days, has been marred by setbacks, including a recent hamstring issue that may have affected a potential move to Fenerbahce.
Reflecting on the challenges faced by Fati, Dr. Cugat highlighted issues with the recovery process, mentioning instances where he disagreed with the approach taken by Barcelona’s medical team.
Dr. Cugat raised concerns about Fati’s recovery sessions and emphasized the importance of proper care and monitoring during the rehabilitation process.
Dr. Cugat explained that complications arose due to the stress placed on Fati’s knee during the recovery process, leading to additional injuries and setbacks.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Cugat remains optimistic about Fati’s potential to return to peak performance, especially in terms of his knee recovery.
Following a period of intense rehabilitation, Fati made a brief comeback for Barcelona, but subsequent injuries have hindered his progress on the field.
Dr. Cugat reassured that Fati can regain his previous form, especially in terms of his knee recovery, but cautioned about the need for careful management of his overall physical condition.
