"First-team player Fermín López suffered a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during yesterday's match. The player will undergo surgical treatment."
"Fermin suffered the injury after receiving a blow to the foot during last night's La Liga game against Real Betis at the Spotify Camp Nou. Having felt discomfort, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder was taken off by Hansi Flick at halftime and tests conducted today have confirmed the worst possible news for the youngster."
"Fermin has suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot and will need surgery to address the injury. Building on that, journalist Fernando Polo of Mundo Deportivo reports that Fermin will not be participating at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the Spanish national team."
"The La Masia graduate had been named on the preliminary squad list and was expected to make the final 26-man roster that will fly to North America next month. However, his foot fracture and subsequent surgery are likely to keep him out of action for close to two months, ruling out the possibility of him playing at the World Cup."
Fermín López suffered a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during a La Liga match against Real Betis at Spotify Camp Nou. The injury occurred after a blow to his foot. He reported discomfort and was substituted by Hansi Flick at halftime. Tests confirmed the fracture, and the club stated he will undergo surgical treatment. The injury is expected to keep him out of action for close to two months. That timeline is likely to prevent him from joining Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite being included in the preliminary squad and expected to contend for the final roster. The setback follows a strong season with Barcelona and prior international success.
