Barcelona coach Xavi hails Fati attitude over injury battle

Barcelona coach Xavi is delighted with the attitude of Ansu Fati as he battles against his fitness issues.

Xavi has worked with the forward for the last two weeks, while other players were out on international duty.

“Ansu is doing very well, these two weeks he's trained very well," said Xavi.

"We are very happy with his attitude. Another player would have been sunken, but he's rebelled against it. He's 100 per cent and will be important."

The only injured forward is Memphis Depay, Xavi will have the others available against Real Mallorca on Saturday night - Dembele, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowksi, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres.
