Barcelona Midfielder Fermín López Cleared to Play Against Real Betis
Barcelona have received a notable boost ahead of thier La Liga clash with Real Betis, with midfielder Fermín López receiving medical clearance after recovering from a soleus muscle injury. The 22-year-old has been included in the squad list for the match, injecting much-needed energy into Barcelona’s midfield.
López’s return is especially timely for manager Hansi Flick, as Barcelona aim for a sixth consecutive league win and navigate a demanding December schedule. While Flick has indicated López will begin the Betis match as a substitute to regain match sharpness, his availability provides vital depth and tactical flexibility, especially with other midfield players currently sidelined. López’s explosive runs, pressing ability, and goal-scoring instincts make him a valuable asset, particularly against a Betis side known to tire in open play.
The Andalusian native missed the last two Barcelona matches due to the injury, sustained to his soleus muscle. however, he has reportedly accelerated his rehabilitation and has been given the all-clear by the club’s medical staff, as reported by Diario Sport.
López’s return also eases the burden on Pedri and provides Flick with increased options in midfield. Barcelona fans can join the club’s WhatsApp community for the latest updates by clicking here: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb4fgZI7dmeUWeGatU0H.
