Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is preparing to test Ansu Fati as a striker once the young forward recovers from a recent foot injury. Despite missing the start of the season, Flick remains confident in Fati’s abilities and sees him as a potential backup for Robert Lewandowski.
Fati impressed Flick during early preseason training, showing commitment and strong performances before an injury sidelined him. Speculation about Fati’s future intensified as he missed Barcelona’s opening matches, but reports confirm that Flick never considered letting him leave the club.
Flick has specific plans to use Fati in the striker position, addressing the team’s need for depth after losing Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque this summer. The coach believes Fati’s speed and finishing skills could make him an ideal alternative to Lewandowski, who will have a more rotational role this season.
Flick’s experiment with Ferran Torres in the striker position has already proven successful, with Torres scoring immediately in a 7-0 victory over Valladolid. Flick now hopes Fati can similarly adapt to the role, providing Barcelona with additional attacking firepower as the season progresses.
