"Barcelona have been hit by another injury setback as Fermin Lopez has been ruled out for two weeks in the wake of the team's disappointing defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League. Lopez has sustained a muscle injury and will spend the next fortnight on the sidelines, missing the games against Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis. The news is a blow to Hansi Flick ahead of some big games, as Fermin has been in great form so far this season for Barcelona."
"Here's the official statement: "First-team player Fermín López has a small injury to the soleus muscle in his right leg, and his estimated recovery time is around two weeks." Barcelona's injury problems had been easing, with Joan Garcia and Raphinha having successfully returned from injury since the international break. Flick is also hoping to have Pedri back at the weekend against Alaves. The Spain star has been in training this week and will hopefully get the green light to play."
Fermín López has suffered a small injury to the soleus muscle in his right leg and faces an estimated recovery of around two weeks. He will miss matches against Alavés, Atlético Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis. The setback arrives after Barcelona's disappointing Champions League defeat to Chelsea and removes an in-form midfielder from Hansi Flick's squad ahead of major fixtures. Barcelona's broader injury situation has improved with Joan García and Raphinha returning from injury since the international break. Pedri has resumed training this week and could be available for the weekend match against Alavés if given the green light.
