Double Joy for Flick: Fermin and De Jong Return to Barcelona Training
Barcelona's training sessions witnessed the return of two important players, with Fermin Lopez and Frenkie de Jong standing out as the latest developments, bringing good news to coach Hans Flick according to the Spanish newspaper "Sport".
The newspaper confirmed that Fermin Lopez has fully recovered from his leg injury after missing the matches against Deportivo Alaves and Atletico Madrid. His rapid recovery helped shorten his absence period, and he is likely to participate in the Saturday match against Real Betis at La Cartuja. It is noted that the match planned for his full comeback is the Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt next Tuesday.
The training session also saw the return of Frenkie de Jong, who missed the last three Barcelona matches—the first against Athletic Bilbao due to suspension, and the following two against Alaves and Atletico Madrid due to fever. Sport pointed out that De Jong has fully recovered and will be ready to play on Saturday against Betis. He is likely to start the match as a key player in coach Flick's plans.
De Jong was among the first players to arrive at Joan Gamper at 22:00, confirming his full readiness to participate in the Betis match, which strengthens Flick's midfield options ahead of the upcoming Champions League commitments.
