Barcelona midfielder Fermín López suffered a right thigh injury during Tuesday's training session, according to the club’s medical staff.

Fermín participated in part of the session as part of his recovery process from an injury sustained a few weeks ago while training with Spain’s U21 team, which had affected his left thigh.

Now, he will require another three weeks to recover from this new muscle injury, Barça reported. The club has barely been able to count on Fermín after a busy summer, during which he participated in both the Euro U21 tournament and the Olympics.

On a positive note, midfielder Frenkie de Jong is making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury and returned to group training on Tuesday, as did Pablo Paéz Gavira 'Gavi', who is in the final stages of recovering from a serious knee injury.
