'Luxury' reinforcement! Fermín López is already training under the orders of Hansi Flick

Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona had a 'luxury' reinforcement in training this Tuesday morning. After the day of rest granted by the German, the Barça squad began preparation for the next league match against Athletic Club in Montjuïc. In the morning session, Fermín López exercised with his teammates in what was his return to the discipline of the Barça first team.

The one from Campillo rejoined the Catalan squad after enjoying a short vacation after a historic summer in which he was crowned champion of the Euro Cup and won the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The midfielder completed training along with all the players available to the German coach and has started his particular 'sprint' to arrive in optimal conditions for the match against the Bilbao team.

Through his official website, the Barça institution confirmed that the footballer has the possibility of participating in the Catalan team's official debut in domestic competition at home in front of his fans.The squad wants to 'erase' the poor image offered in the Gamper against AS Monaco (0-3) and the return of Fermín is a relief for Flick, since the Andalusian's 'irruption' in continental tournaments positions him as one of the main alternatives in the core, waiting to finalize Olmo's registration, which could arrive in the coming days.

An increase in 'gallons'

The 2024/25 season aims to be a momentous one for López. The departure of Ilkay Gündogan from the culé team represents an increase in 'gallons' for the young 'crack', who will surely have a greater role in Flick's planning after the German midfielder's withdrawal is complete. His great presentation at the Olympic Games gives him enough arguments to take on this role, and this Tuesday he began what could be his definitive consecration in the first team.
