Barcelona confirms the period of time for Fermin Lopez injured – all the games he could miss
Barcelona is without another of its key players, with the midfielder Fermin Lopez picked up a thigh problem in his first training session with Spain's under-21 team on Tuesday. Starting from the custom, Barcelona gave a recovery period for the 21-year-old.

Lopez will miss about three weeks with his hamstring tear. In theory, it will keep him out for a total of three or four games, with a trip to Girona after the international break. The Blaugrana are next to AS Monaco in the Champions League, at La Ceramica to face Villarreal, and then at home to Getafe. That game is right on the edge of when Lopez would be fit again, and four days later, Barcelona travel to El Sadar to face Osasuna.

Lopez's injury leaves Hansi Flick with only four natural midfielders, although he noted that Eric Garcia can play deeper in midfield. Pedri, Dani Olmo and Pablo Torre are generally considered more attacking options, while Marc Casado can play further back as well. All but Casado are also on international duty, and Flick will have a tough job managing his minutes.
