Forced off with an injury on Sunday night against Real Betis, Fermín López will not play in the World Cup with Spain!

FC Barcelona announced on Monday afternoon that the player has suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and will undergo surgery soon. 

The injury and the operation mean he will miss the World Cup, which begins in 24 days.

After winning Euro 2024, Fermín will therefore be unable to complete the double.

It is another major blow for Spain, who are now keeping their fingers crossed that Lamine Yamal, injured for several weeks, will be back to full fitness for the big event of the summer!
