What's the situation with him?
If I'm not mistaken he's been injury free for quite a while now but still seems to start on the bench mainly. I haven't seen too much of Barca this season but when I do, Raphinha looks rather erratic and Torres pretty average. Talentwise I'd say he should make their starting eleven.
Did he have a few setbacks? Are they just cautious with him? Or is he still finding his form?
imo he struggles playing the winger role in the way Xavi imagines it. Dembele is perfect for it but Ansu suffers the same way Ferran does and Raphinha.. less said the better.
When Ansu broke onto the scene, he wasn't really a speedster or a dribbler, more of a clutch finisher with great instincts for his age. Since then though, bad injuries, returning rusty (obviously) and then given the #10 gave him an ego. I still believe in him despite many Barca fans now getting fed up, a loan would do him good but we are very light at LW.
Difficult to really gauge his potential pre and post injury, I don't think he had the superstar potential like Pedri for example but it will be a great tragedy if the injury really has finished him.
