Fermin Lopez returned to training on Sunday as Barcelona prepare for their La Liga match against Celta Vigo midweek. The midfielder wore a protective mask following a facial injury that required stitches, suffered during the Champions League game against Atletico.
His readiness is a significant boost for coach Hans Flick’s side. Meanwhile, Marc Bernal remains sidelined with an ankle sprain but is expected to be fit in time for the Camp Nou encounter, according to local reports.
With just seven games left and a nine-point lead at the top of La Liga, Barcelona aim to wrap up the title quickly. Lopez’s presence will help the team maintain control in midfield, contributing to a stable and effective gameplay.
Lopez’s quick recovery demonstrates that injuries haven’t caused major disruption to the squad. This stability allows Barcelona to keep their tactical consistency and confidence, important factors as they push for the championship. Fans can be reassured about the team’s physical condition heading into these decisive fixtures.
