Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez will be sidelined for two weeks with a leg injury, the Spanish club said Thursday.
If that time estimate holds up, Fermín will miss four games, including a La Liga match against Atletico Madrid next week and a Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt on Dec. 9.
Barcelona said that Fermín had a “small injury” in his lower right leg, two days after the club lost 3-0 at Chelsea in the Champions League.
Fermín started that match and played for just over an hour before being substituted.
The 22-year-old Fermin has scored seven goals and made four assists in all competitions for Barcelona this season.
He also helped Spain qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
