Fermin Lopez has “the same injury” that Barcelona teammate Pedri sustained after a marathon season

Fermin Lopez is out for another three weeks after sustaining a new injury on his return to training in Barcelona this week, having previously sat out the game with another problem.

What may make Barcelona even more worrying is that, according to SER, Fermin was diagnosed with the same problem that Pedri suffered after his marathon 2020-21 season.

Pedri famously made 73 appearances during that season after starring for Barcelona and then representing Spain at the European Championships and the Olympic Games.

Fermin has just had a similar season. He may not have played as many games, but he has hardly had any rest.

Last season he made his breakthrough into the first team, then went to the European Championships in Germany and then to France, where he won gold at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Barcelona will hope that Fermin will not be plagued by the same injury problems that have plagued Pedri in recent seasons.

The situation will also revive concerns about the lack of rest for top players, particularly at FC Barcelona, ​​where Fermin, Pedri and Gavi have all sustained injuries while playing for the Spanish national team.
