"The La Masia product underwent surgery last Monday, carried out by Barcelona's medical services, after suffering an anterior dislocation of his left shoulder. The injury occurred in the most recent league match, during the celebration after Fort scored a spectacular goal against Rayo Vallecano, his first in the league, which also opened the scoring in a 4-0 win. As the young right-back ran towards the stands, he was knocked off balance by Nobel Mendy and injured his shoulder when he fell."
"The injury came at a very inopportune moment for Fort, as he was starting to establish himself as a starter at Elche under Eder Sarabia. Indeed, having been off to a slow start at his loan club, the 19-year-old right-back had started to showcase his potential and attacking quality in recent games. So far this season, Fort has played 12 games in all competitions for Elche, scoring two goals and assisting two more."
Hector Fort, a La Masia product on loan at Elche, suffered an anterior dislocation of his left shoulder after falling during the celebration of a goal against Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona's medical services operated on him last Monday. Fort visited the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to meet the club's medical staff and begin a gradual rehabilitation programme, with no recovery timeline provided. The injury interrupts his emergence as a starter under Eder Sarabia at Elche, where he has played 12 games this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists, while aiming to contend for a place in Hansi Flick's plans.
