Flick recovers another asset! Fermín López, back to training with FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, after the setback of Dani Olmo's physical injury (hamstring injury in the right leg), is receiving encouraging and promising news. Why? Yesterday, the Barça team confirmed the return of Frenkie de Jong to training, and now the return of another key player, Fermín López, has been announced.

It is worth remembering that the player from Huelva was among the injured players of the Barcelona team, after suffering a muscle injury in the anterior rectus of the left thigh during a concentration with the Spanish U-21 national team on September 3. At that time, it was estimated that he would require three weeks of recovery, with the hope of returning by the end of September.

Fermín López and a return that brings optimism to FC Barcelona

Fortunately, despite not having received medical clearance yet, Fermín López has advanced his return to training by a week with the rest of the group. Although he only participated partially in the session, this fact suggests a prompt recovery. Consequently, there is the possibility, as mentioned in FCBN, that the midfielder could be called up for the match against AS Monaco on Thursday, September 19 at 9:00 p.m. at the Stade Louis II, corresponding to the first matchday of the UEFA Champions League 2024/25.

However, it will be crucial to observe how Fermín López evolves in the coming days to determine if he will be available for the clash against the Monegasques. FC Barcelona prioritizes not rushing the return of their injured players. Therefore, it would not be surprising if he does not make it in time for the match against the 'Rojiblancos', but his presence in the squad for the match against Villarreal CF on Sunday, September 22, is not ruled out.

Frenkie de Jong and Gavi also completed part of the session

Now, regarding the injured players, both Frenkie de Jong and Pablo Gavi, who have recently returned to training, also participated in Tuesday's session, although they did not complete it. On the other hand, Ansu Fati, who has been training regularly with the group since last Friday, seems to be in a condition to be called up for the match against AS Monaco.
