Fermin Lopez has been ruled out of action for another three weeks after picking up a fresh injury on his return to Barcelona training this week after a spell out with a different issue.
Perhaps worryingly for Barcelona, Fermin has been diagnosed with the same problem that Pedri suffered after his marathon season in 2020-21, according to SER.
Pedri famously played 73 games during that campaign after starring for Barcelona and then featuring for Spain at the Euros and the Olympics.
Fermin has just come off a similar season. He hasn’t played quite that amount of games but has had barely any rest.
