Ansu Fati opens up before Monaco's trip to Lorient
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Ansu Fati spoke candidly about his form and fitness ahead of AS Monaco's Ligue 1 fixture at Lorient this Sunday.
AS Monaco travel to the Stade du Moustoir this Sunday to face Lorient in the seventh round of Ligue 1, with kick-off set for 17:15. Ansu Fati, rarely seen in front of the media, broke his usual silence to discuss his current form and his determination to stay fit through a full season.
The Spanish forward has struggled with injuries since arriving at the Stade Louis II, and his comments touched on both his efficiency in front of goal and his hopes of sustaining a run of matches without setbacks. For a player whose career has been repeatedly interrupted by fitness problems, staying available for selection has become as important a target as goals themselves.
For Monaco supporters, Fati's fitness will be watched closely as the club looks to build momentum in the opening months of the campaign. A strong display in Brittany would offer early evidence that his season-long ambitions are more than just words.
