What Matches Will Fermín López Miss Due to Injury?
Fermín López, the young midfielder for FC Barcelona, will miss several important matches due to a muscle injury in his left quadriceps. After undergoing medical tests, it has been confirmed that he will be out of action for approximately three weeks.
This recovery period will force him to miss at least four key matches, including three LaLiga fixtures and the team's Champions League debut. The affected matches include the clash against Girona on September 15th, the encounter with AS Monaco on September 19th, the duel against Villarreal on September 22nd, and the home game against Getafe on September 25th.
His return is expected, if the recovery progresses as planned, for the match against Osasuna on September 29th.
Fermín López's injury was an unexpected blow for both Barcelona and Spain's U-21 national team. The player was with the national team preparing to play in the U-21 European Championship qualifiers when he suffered the injury. After undergoing the necessary tests, it was determined that the injury to his left quadriceps would keep him off the pitch for about three weeks.
Given this situation, Barcelona's medical team, in coordination with the Royal Spanish Football Federation, decided that López should return to Barcelona to begin his recovery. López's absence is a significant setback for the team, especially at a time when he was showing great form. In his place, Pablo Torre has been called up to cover his spot in the U-21 national team.
