FC Barcelona: Fermín López out for 3 weeks! (official)

FC Barcelona announced this Monday, September 22, that Fermín López has suffered a muscle injury to his left iliopsoas. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, a product of La Masia, played around thirty minutes the previous day during the Blaugranas' victory over Getafe (3-0) before leaving the pitch in tears, visibly affected. Medical tests have confirmed the nature of his injury, and the club stated that his absence is expected to last about three weeks. This setback deprives Hansi Flick of an important player in his midfield rotation, especially as a particularly busy schedule awaits.

A major blow ahead of the clash with PSG

This injury comes at the worst possible moment for FC Barcelona. Fermín López will miss at least four matches, including the highly anticipated clash against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled for October 1 at the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc for the second round of the Champions League. His absence is a significant blow for the already depleted Catalan midfield, as key players like Pedri and Frenkie de Jong now have to shoulder an even greater workload. Having come through the club’s youth system and gradually integrated into the first team, López had established himself as a credible option, capable of bringing creativity and depth to the game. His injury highlights Barça’s current difficulties, as the squad faces a series of absences. The coming weeks will be decisive for the young Spaniard, who will need to regain full fitness to once again become a reliable asset in Flick’s plans upon his return.
