MADRID (AP) — Barcelona says forward Ansu Fati will follow a conservative recovery plan to treat his left hamstring injury. Barcelona and the player have opted to avoid surgery and his recovery time should be reduced. The club did not say how long it expects Fati to be sidelined.

Fati has played sparingly this season because of a series of injuries.
