The Spaniard suffered a tear in his meniscus on November 7, 2020 and has since had three operations, all times under the watchful eye of the Spanish doctor Dr. Ramón Cugat. For the fourth and risky procedure, Fati and Barcelona turn to Portuguese surgeon Noronha, who previously also treated Pepe, Radamel Falcao, Hulk, Ángel Di María and Arjen Robben for knee problems.
The previous three surgeries on Fati’s left knee aimed to preserve and restore the meniscus. This is very important in view of the player’s desire to have a long sports career.
