Another Huge Blow For Spain As Barcelona's Fermín López Is Ruled Out Of 2026 World Cup

Undergoes successful surgery Fermin (foot) had successful surgery to repair the fifth metatarsal fracture he suffered in last weekend's game versus Real Betis, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Fermin won't feature in the World Cup this summer as he's expected to spend several weeks on his rehabilitation. This issue came after the midfielder completed an outstanding campaign, tallying 12 goals and 13 assists over 41 matches played (29 starts) across La Liga and Champions League play. While his loss represents a significant blow for both club and country, his duties could be covered by Dani Olmo at both levels and partly by Fabian Ruiz in the national team.

Spain Midfielder Fermín López To Miss World Cup After Fracturing Foot

Out for World Cup Fermin (foot) was diagnosed with a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot sustained during the match against Real Betis and will undergo surgery, ruling him out of...

Impact Fermin had been forced off at halftime of Sunday's 3-1 victory after taking a knock to the area, with further testing Monday confirming the fracture. The surgical route suggests the injury is significant enough to require structural repair, effectively ending his summer before it begins. The Barcelona midfielder finishes the season with 12 goals and 13 assists across 41 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League, underlining the significant loss his absence represents for both club and country. The news is a major blow for Spain, where Fermin had been expected to play a key role following his contributions to the Euro 2024 triumph and the Olympic gold medal in Paris, with coach Luis de la Fuente now forced to reshuffle his attacking midfield options ahead of the tournament opener against Cape Verde on June 15.

Impact Fermin arrived in the dressing room at halftime with the discomfort and after consultation with the technical and medical staff, the decision was made not to risk him for the second half. The concern now is whether any kind of fracture has occurred, which could either rule him out of the World Cup entirely or delay his participation in the tournament. The fifth metatarsal is a bone susceptible to stress fractures from repeated impacts and heavy match loads, making the situation particularly worrying for a player who always gives everything in physical duels. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente is due to announce his squad on May 25, with Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde set for June 15, leaving just four weeks for Fermin to prove his fitness for a tournament where he was expected to be a key figure after winning the Euros in 2024 and the Olympic gold medal in Paris.

Barcelona's Fermin Lopez fires back at 'stolen' titles claim made by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez

Option against Real Betis Fermin (undisclosed) returned to team training and is an option for Sunday's clash against Real Betis, according to Joan Poqui of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Fermin had been left out of the squad for Wednesday's fixture against Alaves without explanation, but his presence in Saturday's session is a clean bill of health heading into the final home fixture of Barcelona's historic La Liga season. The midfielder should be available to contribute at the Spotify Camp Nou as coach Flick's side look to close out the campaign in style.

Ruled out vs Alaves Fermin (undisclosed) was not included in the squad for Wednesday's clash against Alaves, with no official reason provided, according to the club.

Impact Fermin's omission from the matchday squad is worth monitoring, though the timing of the absence in the final weeks of the campaign suggests this may be a precautionary decision by coach Hansi Flick rather than a significant fitness concern. With Barcelona having clinched the La Liga title during Sunday's Clasico victory over Real Madrid, resting key players for the final fixtures of the season would be a logical approach. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain until the club provides clarification.

Delivers assist Fermin assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Osasuna.

Impact Fermin was able to deliver an assist in Barcelona's win, and he's likely to continue having a role when the side battles Real Madrid for what will effectively be the league title next. The midfielder will be key for Barca to get past a Real Madrid team which has only allowed 31 goals in La Liga this season.

UEFA have caused Barcelona 'serious harm' as vice-president defends official complaint after Atletico Madrid upset

Decent outing in UCL elimination Fermin had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 2-1 win versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Fermin would see the nod in the starting XI after a bench spot in the first leg, notching a decent one shot and four crosses. However, he would nearly alter the tie altogether, just not putting enough power on a header that seemed to be a sure goal. He ended a great UCL campaign, which saw him start in 10 of his 11 appearances, notching six goals and four assists.
