BARCELONA, Spain (AP):

Barcelona forward Ansu Fati will be sidelined for about four months after undergoing knee surgery yesterday, the club said.

The 18-year-old Fati tore the internal meniscus in his left knee in Barcelona's 5-2 win over Real Betis in the Spanish league last Saturday. He was replaced at halftime after not recovering from a challenge by Aissa Mandi inside the area.

The club said Fati's surgery was successful.

Fati had been a regular starter for Barcelona this season, scoring five goals and recording two assists in 10 matches in all competitions.

He had already been dropped from Spain's national team because of the injury.
