Barcelona star injured in his national team's training session
Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick will be unable to count on his central midfielder Fermín López for the upcoming weeks. According to Barcelona's official website, Fermín sustained a muscle injury during a training session with Spain's U-21 national team.
While the exact recovery timeline hasn't been officially confirmed, journalist Toni Juanmartí reports that Fermín has suffered a muscle fiber tear, sidelining him for 3-4 weeks.
Fermín is likely to miss La Liga matches against Girona, Villarreal, Getafe, and Osasuna, as well as the Champions League clash with Monaco.
In his absence, Barcelona's attacking midfielder Pablo Torre has been called up to Spain's U-21 squad.
Fermín López was a standout player in Spain's victorious Olympic campaign, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists in 6 matches.
