Fati ruled out of Monaco's European debut with calf injury
Ansu Fati missed training on Monday due to a calf problem and will miss Monaco's Ligue Conférence opener against Gornik.
Ansu Fati will miss Monaco's debut in the Ligue Conférence due to a muscular issue. According to L'Équipe, the winger was absent from Monday's training session with a calf injury picked up last week in England.
The injury will delay his return to competitive action. While initially expected to be available for the opening Ligue 1 match against Le Havre on Sunday, that timeline has shifted. The club expects the Spanish forward to be fit sometime in September.
There's better news for manager Filipe Luis regarding Folarin Balogun, who is training normally and available for selection. The situation surrounding Matthis Abline remains uncertain ahead of the trip to Poland for Thursday's first leg against Gornik Zabrze in the Conference League qualifier.
