Roberto De Zerbi offers Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati advice after return from injury

Following his injury return, Ansu Fati has received some guidance from Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Fati was a member of the injury-ravaged team that lost 1-0 at Molineux despite being selected in the starting lineup for the FA Cup midweek matchup against Wolves.

The young player has only recently returned after a protracted injury layoff, and De Zerbi thinks that in order to regain his form, he must “push every day 100%.”

“He can push more, he can be stronger, he can play better, he can believe more in his abilities,” he told a press conference.

“He is a sensitive guy, he is a good guy and part of my work is to help this type of players to believe more in themselves, to show all his qualities.

“It is a challenge for me. To push your players, to show all qualities and not one part is a big challenge.

“A big challenge is when you have a talent and Ansu Fati is a big talent.

“I think it is habit – push every day 100% on the pitch.”

If he can stay healthy, Fati should play a lot of minutes between now and the conclusion of the season because of Brighton’s injury situation.

The Seagulls have a busy week ahead of them as they travel to Roma in the Europa League round of 16 and take on Fulham in the Premier League.
