FC Barcelona defines the date of Fermín López's return

FC Barcelona hopes to have Fermín López after the national team break. The one from El Campillo missed the month of September due to two consecutive injuries to both thighs, but he has met the deadlines set to avoid another relapse and everything indicates that he will be discharged from the hospital next week. The '16' has barely played 57 minutes in 3 games this season, after an intense summer where he played in the Euro Cup and the Olympic Games.

In that sense, Hansi Flick's plan aims to include Fermín in the squad against Sevilla, next Sunday, September 20. The midfielder was injured again just before the debut in the Champions League, against Monaco, which is why the coaching staff will only take him into account if the culé infirmary gives the 'ok'. For Barça, the return of the Andalusian is very timely, since the duel against Sevilla precedes the Champions League match against Bayern and the first Clásico against Real Madrid.

López already knows what it's like to score at the Santiago Bernabéu, as last season he scored a partial equalizer in a 3-2 defeat (in April). The midfielder had also 'wet' against the 'merengues' in the 2023 preseason, with a great goal in the friendly played in Dallas, Texas (3-0). In addition, the culés hope to add two other key players right after the break.

Dani Olmo and Gavi also hope to reappear against Sevilla

The Barça infirmary is also preparing the returns of Dani Olmo and Gavi. The former was also out for the last month due to an injury to the femoral biceps of his right thigh that occurred in the match against Girona (1-4), while the '6' has just completed his long recovery from a torn cruciate ligament. of the right knee that he suffered with Spain in November 2023. In both cases, the club has taken all the necessary precautions to avoid any relapse due to the recent history at Can Barça.
