Fermín López is nearing the end of his recovery from a muscle injury in the left thigh’s biceps femoris sustained late in the past season. This injury prevented him from participating in the 2026 World Cup.
Over the past few weeks, the Barcelona midfielder has followed a tailored recovery program focused on avoiding any setbacks. He has now rejoined group training sessions as part of the team’s early preparations for the new season.
Head coach Hansi Flick is closely monitoring López’s progress at every step. The player aims to join Barcelona’s training camp in England between July 27 and August 3, and to feature in one of the friendly matches scheduled there.
The club’s medical and fitness staff have coordinated an individualized plan allowing the injury to fully heal before fully reintegrating him into team activities. The approach has been cautious and without pressure on timelines.
Throughout the rehabilitation period, López has maintained a positive attitude and commitment, strictly adhering to the specialists’ guidance. He also traveled to the United States to watch the Spanish national team in the World Cup final during this time.
