Barcelona will reportedly have to cope without Ansu Fati against Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the Champions League with the striker ruled out of the clash.
It had been hoped that Fati might be fit for the trip to the Allianz Arena but his return has been pushed back, according to Diario AS.
The “best-case scenario” would see Fati return against Elche on December 14 which means he’ll also sit out the team’s next La Liga match at Osasuna.
Xavi is said to be unwilling to take any risks with Fati who has been told it’s better for him to wait another two weeks than come back now and risk a relapse.
