Barca's Fermin Lopez out for two weeks with calf injury

SPORTS 27.11.2025

Barcelona's Spanish midfielder Fermin Lopez has been ruled out for the next two weeks with a calf injury, the club announced on Thursday.

Text size:

"Fermin has a small injury to the soleus muscle in his right leg, and his estimated recovery time is around two weeks," the team said.

The 22-year-old will miss three La Liga games against Alaves, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis and is also in doubt for the Champions League clash at home against Eintracht Frankfurt on December 9.

The midfielder had been establishing himself as a regular starter under Hansi Flick, even though outside of Spain he is not yet a household name.

Lopez also played 46 times for Flick last season as Barcelona won a domestic treble, although often featuring as a substitute.

Injured in late September he had returned to the team and scored five goals and set up four others in six matches.

Second in the La Liga table, Barcelona lost 3-0 at Chelsea in the Champions League this week.
