Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is preparing to try Ansu Fati in a new position once the young attacker returns from a foot injury, according to a new report.
Matteo Moretto of Relevo says Flick will see if Ansu can play as Robert Lewandowski’s backup at the striker position, which is lacking depth after the departures of Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque this summer.
Fati suffered a foot injury in the first week of preseason training and hasn’t returned since, but there is optimism that he could be back shortly after the international break, and his coach wants to see if Ansu can play up front to try and maximize his goalscoring skills.
