Ansu Fati sidelined for six weeks with injury

Monaco winger Ansu Fati is set for an extended spell on the sidelines. According to reports from Nice-Matin, the 23-year-old Spaniard suffered a muscle injury during the 8th round Ligue 1 match against Lille, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Fati was forced off the pitch in the 15th minute. Medical examinations confirmed an injury to the back of his left thigh, with an estimated recovery time of approximately six weeks.

This marks the second muscle injury for Fati this season, having already missed the start of the campaign due to similar issues. In his five appearances this season, the winger had successfully scored two goals.

Monaco currently sits fourth in the Ligue 1 table with 15 points. The team is scheduled to face Paris FC on November 1.
