Barcelona have been handed a major boost with one of their key stars receiving full medical clearance to return.
Hansi Flick’s men prepare for a tough away clash against Real Betis in Seville, a fixture that tests their mettle amid a grueling schedule packed with league duties, cup ties, and European ambitions.
Injuries have plagued the Blaugrana, sidelining stars and forcing constant rotations that strain the bench.
The Camp Nou faithful hold their breath for every medical update, knowing that in a league as unforgiving as this one, a single green light can shift momentum dramatically.
With rivals lurking and points at a premium, Hansi Flick demands maximum firepower, making injury returns not just welcome news but tactical necessities that fuel the push for silverware.
That crucial clearance has now arrived for Fermín López, the dynamic midfielder whose return bolsters Barcelona’s engine room ahead of the Betis showdown.
Diario Sport reports confirm his spot in the squad list, injecting fresh energy into a midfield depleted by longer-term absences.
The 22-year-old Andalusian, sidelined by a soleus muscle issue that forced him to miss the last two outings, has accelerated his rehab and earned the medical staff’s full approval.
Flick has tempered expectations, signaling Fermín won’t start at La Cartuja but will feature as a substitute to build match sharpness.
His explosive runs, pressing intensity, and knack for late goals make him an ideal super-sub against a Betis team prone to fading in open games.
This boosts options alongside Pedri, easing the load after recent exertions.
For Barcelona, chasing a sixth straight league win, Fermín’s green light symbolizes resilience amid adversity.
It arms Flick with vital depth for December’s gauntlet, keeping the title dream alive under Seville’s lights.
