He's really good, without Gavi or Fermín López he has to be a starter. Flick has already given the order.

The latest news at Barça is centered around players Gavi and Fermín López. During the summer, both made headlines due to an alleged disagreement that put their friendship in jeopardy. Now, however, both Andalusian footballers are going through truly difficult times due to much more serious matters. Gavi has been living in complete uncertainty since he began to feel discomfort in his operated knee, pain that hasn't stopped.

The club's medical staff opted for a conservative treatment. However, yesterday it was decided that the midfielder will have to undergo surgery and have an arthroscopy. The goal is to clean the entire affected area to put an end to Gavi's pain and discomfort. Meanwhile, Fermín López's situation is also concerning. He finished yesterday's match injured and left the field in tears.

The Andalusian attacking midfielder was injured in the last play of the match, suffering a muscle injury in his left iliopsoas. The estimated recovery time is about three weeks, so Fermín will also miss the Champions match against PSG. This is bad news for Hansi Flick, who is losing a very important player in his tactical setup.

Fermín raises the alarm

The blaugrana attacking midfielder came on in the 60th minute and ended up on the ground when the referee blew the final whistle. The footballer grabbed his groin, and the club's medical staff ran onto the field to perform the first examinations. Although Fermín left the field on his own, his expression showed concern.

After the appropriate tests were carried out, a muscle injury was confirmed that will keep him out of the next three league matches plus the Champions match against PSG. Barça is off to a bad start this season in terms of injuries, as several footballers are already sidelined. In this situation, Hansi Flick has already given the order to draft Dro Fernández, a young talent who already went on the Asian tour with the team.

Opportunity for Dro Fernández

Flick promoted him to the first team during the training sessions before the Asian tour, and after seeing him in action, he didn't hesitate to include him among the traveling squad. Dro joined the blaugrana youth academy in the summer of 2022 and quickly caught the attention of the club's coaches. His talent has won everyone over: refined technique, vision of the game, creativity, and an innate ability to break lines.

Dro is a young 17-year-old attacking midfielder with great technical talent, and he made his debut with the first team, scoring a goal during last summer's Asian tour. His ability to take on defenders and create scoring chances between the lines has led Flick to turn to the young talent. Dro will have a golden opportunity to show his talent if Flick ends up giving him playing time in Fermín's absence due to injury.
