Barça: Fermín López's scathing response to Florentino Pérez

Coming out injured on Sunday during FC Barcelona’s victory against Betis (3-1), Fermín López finally suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. The Catalan attacking midfielder, affected before the break and replaced at half-time, already feared an absence for the World Cup after having felt persistent pain in recent hours.

FC Barcelona confirmed on Tuesday that the 23-year-old had undergone successful surgery. “ First team player Fermín López successfully underwent surgery to fracture the fifth metatarsal of his right foot “, indicated the Catalan club in a press release, specifying that “ its evolution will determine the recovery time “. The Spanish international will therefore not be called up by Luis de la Fuente on May 25 and will therefore miss the World Cup.
