Barcelona midfielder returning from injury steps up recovery during England training camp
Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez is increasing his training workload during the team's pre-season camp in England. He is recovering from a foot fracture sustained at the end of the previous season.
Why it matters
The recovery of key players is critical for Barcelona's performance in the upcoming season under manager Hansi Flick.
Barcelona midfield star Fermin Lopez had one of the unluckiest ends to the 2025-26 campaign, picking up an injury in the last league game of the season.
The injury saw him miss out on a Spain World Cup berth, a call-up he would otherwise definitely have received, and he was forced to watch his teammates lift the trophy from the sidelines.
Fermin has been working hard ever since to return in top shape for Barça’s pre-season start, and he is now in England with the rest of the squad .
The 23-year-old Spaniard has taken another positive step in his recovery, increasing his workload during Barcelona’s latest pre-season session at St George’s Park.
According to Mundo Deportivo , the midfielder completed a larger portion of training with his teammates as he continues recovering from a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
