Suffers setback in recovery Lopez (hamstring) suffered a setback in his recovery process and won't be able to return to the squad in the near future, manager Michel told media during Thursday's pre-match pres...

Impact Lopez is a solid depth piece for the defensive line, but it will be a few weeks at the very least before he's able to return to action. He wouldn't have been a starter even if healthy, though, as Daley Blind and Vitor Reis should continue to start at center-back as long as both remain healthy and available. Lopez is expected to be reevaluated in a couple of weeks to determine his progress.

Impact Lopez will miss at least one month due to a hamstring injury.

Vitor Reis is expected to get a larger role in central defense for the upcoming fixtures.

Full season as veteran Lopez appeared in 34 matches across all competitions for Girona during the 2024-25 season, scoring two goals and assisting once.

Impact Lopez was the defensive backbone, completing 2,119 passes with decent accuracy but couldn't set any new career highs in league play either defensively or offensively. His experience proved invaluable during the winless streak, stabilizing a defense under pressure. At-35-years old, Lopez remained one of the quickest players in La Liga and with one year left on his contract, he should remain an important figure in the backline next season for the Catalans.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks deadlock in win Friday Lopez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Friday's 3-0 victory against Valladolid.

Impact Lopez broke the deadlock for Girona midway through the first half, though, to be fair, he was fortunate to find the back of the net since he deflected home a free kick from Miguel Gutierrez. Lopez isn't known for his attacking prowess, though, and he's expected to earn most of his value going forward through defensive stats.

He has made 13 appearances (11 starts) in all competitions.

Impact Lopez found the ball in front of the opposition goal after a set piece and gave his team the lead during the 19th minute of the game. Despite the early highlight, he was part of a back line that conceded three goals, and he contributed to a pair of those with key passing and marking errors. He returned to the starting lineup at the expense of Daley Blind (calf), who is still out for a few more weeks. Therefore, Lopez may now stay active and fairly reliable for passes and defensive numbers.

Impact Lopez dealt with a fair share of injuries during the 2023-24 season, but he was available when called upon duty, and he was a starter in all but two of the games he was available for.

Impact Lopez looks to be in heavy doubt for Sunday's match, as he was shown training by himself with a ball Thursday, still having yet to get in team training following a quadriceps issue that left him out of their last match against Getafe. There is still a chance he gets in the team against Betis, although he will have to majorly ramp up his fitness for that to happen. Even if he is selected, he will most likely be left on the bench, not rushing back into play after being this far out just two days before the contest.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up quad discomfort Lopez has picked up a muscle discomfort in his quadriceps and is not on the team sheet for Saturday's trip to Getafe.

Impact Lopez is now missing his seventh match in a row, having yet to recover from a hamstring issue after being left out of the squad list for Monday's match. The defender still remains sidelined despite a possible return the past couple of week and will now hope to return next Monday against Rayo Vallecano. When he does return, he may get a bid at the starting XI immediately, as he has only missed out on a start when injured this season.

Impact Lopez continues to deal with a nagging hamstring problem, and Saturday's game will be his sixth straight absence in league play. His next chance to feature will come against Athletic Bilbao on Feb. 19, though his recovery process will ultimately determine his availability.

Remains sidelined Lopez won't be an option to face Real Sociedad on Saturday since he's still recovering from a hamstring injury, manager Michel told media during his pre-match press conference on F...

Impact Lopez is dealing with a nagging injury and doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, and his absence certainly thins the team's depth on the defensive line. Lopez had been a regular starter before the injury and a four-game suspension that sidelined him throughout the month of October, and his next chance to return to action will come against Real Madrid on Feb. 10.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four-match ban ends Lopez has completed his four-game suspension and could be eligible to face Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Impact Lopez finally saw the end of a suspension that ruled him out for the entire month of January, and he is eligible to return to action here. That said, he was also dealing with a hamstring injury at the beginning of the month, so it's unclear if he'll be fit enough to recover his regular starting role when Girona takes on Real Sociedad on Saturday.

JANUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Handed four-match ban Lopez was handed a four-match ban due to an incident that occurred in October.

Impact Lopez is also currently dealing with a hamstring injury so it's not clear if he would have even been an option for any of those four matches. He will first have the chance to return during a Feb. 11 clash with Real Madrid, assuming he is fit by the time his suspension concludes.

JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not close to returning Lopez (hamstring) remains out for multiple weeks, according to manager Michel Sanchez.

Impact Lopez won't be back for a Jan. 14 clash with Almeria, meaning his absolute soonest chance is Jan. 21 against Sevilla. Even that seems more unlikely for Lopez. While the defender remains sidelined Juanpe should continue to see some more chances in the starting XI.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Lopez has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury and has no timetable for his return, the club announced Friday.

Impact Lopez was forced off with an apparent injury in the match against Real Betis on Dec. 21, and the worst fears of Girona have now been confirmed. Lopez has been a regular for Girona this season after making 15 starts, and his absence means Juanpe will be in line for more minutes while Lopez is out.
