Konrad de la Fuente tipped to get a chance at Barcelona after Ansu Fati injury

Konrad de la Fuente is being tipped to get a chance at Barcelona under Ronald Koeman now that Ansu Fati is out of action for four months following knee surgery.

The 19-year-old American is yet to make his first-team debut in a competitive match but did feature in pre-season and looked pretty good in his two appearances.

Konrad’s already been included in several matchday squads this season which certainly suggests he’s in Koeman’s thinking for the future.

Mundo Deportivo report that Koeman is “delighted” with Konrad and could give the youngster more chances now Fati is sidelined.
