The last minutes of the FC Barcelona-Getafe (3-0) passed with a much greater intensity than usual for a match that, from minute 62, was totally settled. While Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji were looking for their first official goal in LaLiga, Fermín López set off all the alarms by lying on the grass in the final moments of the match.
The '16' had entered for Ferran Torres in the 60th minute and seems to have broken in the inguinal area. The player from Huelva fell on the green with gestures of pain, while Robert Lewandowski made gestures to the Barça doctors to request assistance.
Although Fermín left for the locker room walking on his own, he did so with obvious frustration and difficulty in settling his left leg. The injury could be considerable, pending the completion of the relevant tests this Monday.
Hansi Flick, worried about the physical condition of Fermín López
After greeting José Bordalás, Hansi Flick approached the conclave around the one from El Campillo, while the azulgranas doctors helped him up. For the German, for now, there is nothing confirmed, but the injury of the 22-year-old player does not seem to look good.
"We have to see about Fermín tomorrow. We will have to wait", commented the coach. López was coming from two consecutive starts, against Valencia (6-0) and Newcastle (1-2), the first with a stellar performance in which he scored 2 goals.
For the moment, the one from Huelva accumulates 283 minutes of action in 5 matches, 3 of them as a starter. If his absence is confirmed, it would be the fifth absence due to injury in the Barça squad, although Alejandro Balde hopes to receive medical discharge in the coming days.
Fermín, serious doubt against Oviedo and pending evolution
In addition to Balde, Gavi and Lamine Yamal also remain in the culé infirmary. Both aim for the beginning of October, with luck for the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, to return to action with Barça.
In the case of Fermín López, it is very likely that the player from Huelva will be out of the match against Real Oviedo, next Thursday the 25th, pending determination of the extent of his discomfort in the groin. The azulgrana calendar does not give respite, since Flick's team will receive Real Sociedad next Sunday (28), just before doing the same against PSG. Then, it's time to visit Sevilla (October 5).
