This midweek is definitely very complicated for FC Barcelona. After the heavy defeat conceded on Tuesday at Chelsea in the Champions League (0-3, 5th day), the Blaugrana club noted this Thursday the injury of one of its men in form at the start of the season: Fermin Lopez.
The club communicated to confirm the injury contracted by its player during today’s training. And a priori, Fermin Lopez will not come back straight away, even if the diagnosis is not catastrophic either. “Fermin suffers from a minor injury to the soleus muscle of his right leg. Recovery time will be approximately two weeks. »
Twenty-two years old, Fermin Lopez established himself as one of the important players at the start of the season, having played thirteen matches in all competitions, with seven goals and four assists on the clock. Starting ten times, he did the job in the absence of Pedri and Raphinha in particular.
Fermin Lopez absent at least few matches?
The latter has also returned to business very recently and Pedri will also resume shortly. So much good news that this umpteenth injury to a Barcelona player has tempered. While waiting for Fermin Lopez to recover, Hansi Flick will have to do without him for at least two matches.
There will first be the reception of Alaves this Saturday at the Camp Nou (4:15 p.m., 14th day of La Liga), then there will especially be the shock against Atlético Madrid, once again at home for Barça (9 p.m., December 2). It remains to be seen whether Fermin Lopez will be back for the next match scheduled for December 6 against Real Betis (6:30 p.m.).
