Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez is recovering from quadriceps discomfort but is expected to be fit for the upcoming match against Girona on September 15, despite initial fears of a serious injury which could have sidelined him for several weeks. Lopez's intense summer, including significant contributions to Spain's Euro and Olympic successes, has taken a toll on his body, necessitating some rest. Meanwhile, Ansu Fati has returned to training after a foot injury that kept him out for the season's opening games, and he is also expected to be available post-international break. Barcelona has made a strong start to the season, winning all four of their La Liga matches, but injuries to key players like Marc Bernal continue to challenge the team's depth. Coach Hansi Flick has expressed trust in Fati's potential impact upon his return, having previously impressed during pre-season. Overall, while injuries pose ongoing concerns, the imminent return of Fermin and Ansu Fati brings optimism to the squad.
