"Earlier today, FC Barcelona were dealt a new setback as the club confirmed that Fermin Lopez had suffered a muscle injury in his leg. The statement from the Blaugrana also revealed that the 22-year-old La Masia graduate will be out for a period of two weeks, which comes as a blow for Hansi Flick & co. Fermin to return against Eintracht"
"Earlier reports suggested that Fermin had suffered the injury last weekend against Athletic and played through discomfort against Chelsea this week. But the aforementioned outlet states that the injury occurred on Tuesday during the match against the Blues at Stamford Bridge. Despite the tentative timeline of two weeks, the expectation is that the coaching staff expect to have the midfielder available for the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, provided there are no complications."
Fermín López suffered a leg muscle injury and will be sidelined for around two weeks. The midfielder is expected to miss Barcelona's next three matches against Deportivo Alavés, Atlético Madrid and Real Betis. The coaching staff anticipate he will be fit for the Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on 9 December, provided there are no complications. Initial indications noted discomfort in earlier matches, with the injury pinpointed to the Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge. The absence creates a midfield problem for Hansi Flick given that Pedri is not ready to start, Gavi remains out until March, and Dani Olmo is not at peak form.
