Filipe Luis has no return date for Ansu Fati | OneFootball

Filipe Luis says he has no return date for Ansu Fati. The forward has been sidelined since pre-season with a calf problem and has not trained with the group this season.

According to Nice-Matin, he spoke at La Turbie on Saturday, on the eve of hosting OM on Sunday at 20:45.

He said Fati must first recover from the issue, then rebuild fitness before rejoining the team. The timeframe could be one week, or perhaps two or three, and he stressed they only hope to get him back in his best shape.

Pressed further, he noted the 23-year-old is close to recovering, but a curtailed pre-season means he still needs to regain full fitness.

Fati joined Monaco permanently this summer after last season’s loan from Barcelona. He has yet to play a minute since the season started. The situation remains unclear.
