According to the latest report from Mundo Deportivo, Fermín López's recovery is progressing well, and he is expected to return in Barcelona's opening La Liga match of the new season against Athletic Club.

According to reports, Fermín López suffered an unfortunate injury against Betis approximately one and a half months ago. On Sunday, May 17, he sustained a severe impact that resulted in a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. He underwent surgery at a Barcelona hospital on Tuesday, May 19.

While initial unofficial estimates suggested he would be sidelined for approximately three months based on similar cases, his recovery has progressed without complications. All indications suggest he will return for the opening La Liga match against Athletic Club in mid-August, which would also mark the completion of his three-month absence.

Following the emotional setback, Fermín immediately began a systematic rehabilitation program. Through rigorous gym work, unwavering patience, and pool exercises, he has progressed to running and is consistently following the training plan established by his physiotherapist, José Cortés.

Cortés maintains close contact with Barcelona's medical director, Dr. Ricard Pruna. His return date is expected to coincide with the first league match on August 16. Additionally, Fermín will not rush his comeback under any circumstances. The encouraging news is that everything is proceeding as planned.

He returned to his hometown of El Campillo to recover with his family and prepare for rehabilitation. His vacation with his partner Berta was also affected by recovery preparations, which remain his top priority. For Barcelona, it is important that coach Flick can count on him from the beginning of the new season.
