“The first team player Ansu Fati will follow a conservative recovery plan for the injury to the proximal tendon in his left hamstring,” Barcelona said in a statement. “His recovery will dictate his return.”
Fati could reportedly be out for around two months. He looked visibly upset when forced off in the second half at San Mames.
The striker, who is one of the brightest young talents in the world, only returned earlier this month after two months out with a hamstring tear.
He also came back in September following 10 months out with a serious knee injury, which required four operations in six months.
