FC Barcelona fans received mixed news this weekend — while Lamine Yamal’s injury has been officially confirmed, midfielder Fermín López has made a partial return to training. As the Blaugrana prepare for their upcoming La Liga clash against Sevilla, several players have also been called up for international duty.
Lamine Yamal Injury Confirmed After PSG Clash
Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal has been ruled out of Spain’s upcoming international fixtures against Georgia and Bulgaria. The RFEF confirmed that the young winger is suffering from a recurring groin injury, which flared up following the UEFA Champions League match against PSG.
According to Barcelona’s medical staff, Yamal is experiencing discomfort in the pubic area. The club and Spain’s national team have agreed to withdraw him from international duty to ensure a safe and complete recovery.
This setback comes at a crucial time for Barcelona, as Yamal has been one of the team’s standout performers early in the season.
Fermín López Returns to Training Ahead of Sevilla Clash
In more positive news, Fermín López has returned to training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, though he continues to work separately from the main group. The midfielder’s gradual return is a boost for Hansi Flick’s side, which has been dealing with several injuries across midfield positions.
Barcelona resumed training sessions on Friday to prepare for their upcoming La Liga fixture against Sevilla, set to take place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
Sevilla vs Barcelona: Match Preview and Broadcast Information
The Sevilla v FC Barcelona fixture promises an exciting encounter as both teams aim to secure crucial league points. The match will also see a reunion with Alexis Sánchez, who previously played for Barcelona between 2011 and 2014, scoring 47 goals in 141 appearances and winning six trophies.
Fans can follow the game worldwide, with the club releasing international broadcast times and viewing options for global supporters.
Barcelona Players Called Up for International Duty
Despite injury setbacks, several Barcelona stars have received call-ups for the October international break. Among them are Koundé, De Jong, Lewandowski, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Olmo, Rashford, Bernal, Bardghji, and Cubarsí.
Their participation will depend on each player’s fitness condition following the demanding schedule of La Liga and Champions League fixtures.
Alejandro Grimaldo Reflects on Missed Barcelona Return
Former Barcelona full-back Alejandro Grimaldo revealed in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that there was once a chance to rejoin the Catalan club.
“There may have been a chance to go to Barça, but it wasn’t meant to be,” Grimaldo admitted.
Now excelling at Bayer Leverkusen, Grimaldo continues to attract attention from European giants, though a Camp Nou return appears unlikely in the near future.
Looking Ahead: Barcelona’s Next Steps
With Yamal sidelined and several players away on international duty, Hansi Flick’s primary focus will be maintaining squad balance ahead of a busy October schedule. The Blaugrana will face Sevilla, followed by key matches in both La Liga and the Champions League group stage.
