Cold shower for Barça, possible serious injury: Joan Laporta already confirms it

Joan Laporta confirms that Barça could face a major setback in the form of a serious injury

Barça won (3-0) against Getafe in the fifth round of the league, but not everything was good news for Flick's team, as Joan Laporta confirmed. Barça's president was closely following the match between the Catalans and the Madrid team and dropped a bomb: a possible serious injury. Barça defeated Getafe without too much trouble, but they already know they're going to face problems in the upcoming rounds of the competition: Joan Laporta confirmed it at the Johan Cruyff.

Barça took care of their commitment against Getafe and remain at the top of the league standings, although the truth is that Flick is starting to have serious problems. In this case, the problems are coming in the form of injuries and, for now, Gavi, "Dro" Fernández, Alejandro Balde, Lamine Yamal, and captain Marc-André ter Stegen are sidelined. Moreover, as if all this weren't enough, Joan Laporta has already confirmed that there could be another injury: Fermín López, who collapsed just before the final whistle.

Fermín López started on the bench against Getafe after several starts and strong performances, especially against Valencia in the league, a match that was also played at the Johan Cruyff. Fermín López began the match against Getafe on the bench, but came on in the second half and left the field feeling discomfort. In fact, everything seems to indicate that the player from Huelva, who came up through La Masia, could be suffering a serious injury: a cold shower for Barça, Joan Laporta confirms the injury.

Fermín López wasn't a starter, but he did come on in the second half and, in fact, had the chance to create one of the best attacking plays of the league match. Even though Fermín López stood out in the few minutes he had, the Huelva native didn't finish the match with good feelings: Joan Laporta confirms there's a possible injury. Fermín López is a footballer who relies heavily on his strong lower body and, during last season, he already spent several months sidelined due to adductor problems in his thigh.

Fermín López is undergoing medical tests this Monday and, for now, it has been ruled out as serious, although sources from Barça say it's likely he won't be available against Oviedo. "A good run of matches is coming up and it's better for Fermín López to rest," say sources from the culer organization, who were very concerned after seeing the image following the final whistle.

The end of the match between Barça and Getafe left a bitter note. Fermín López felt discomfort in his left adductor in the last play, in which Luis Milla was also involved. He stopped, fell to the grass, and needed attention before leaving visibly affected: the 'DAZN' cameras recorded the support from the rest of his teammates, who were concerned about the midfielder's physical condition.
