Barcelona have confirmed Fermín López has a small injury to the soleus muscle in his right leg, and his estimated recovery time is around two weeks. Fermin suffered the injury as the club lost 3-0 at Chelsea in the Champions League. Fermín started that match and played for just over an hour before being substituted.
If that time estimate holds up, Fermín will miss four games. The 22-year-old will miss three La Liga games against Alaves, Atletico Madrid, and Real Betis, and is also in doubt for the Champions League clash at home against Eintracht Frankfurt on December 9.
22-year-old Fermín Lopez has scored seven goals and made four assists in all competitions for Barcelona this season. He also helped Spain qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Lopez played 46 times for Barcelona last season, mostly featuring as a substitute as Barcelona won a domestic treble. He was initially injured in late September, but he had returned to the team and scored five goals and set up four others in six matches.
