Fermin Injury: Option to face Betis

Fermin (calf) is an option for Saturday's clash against Betis, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference, according to Barca Universal. "Fermin can play. I'm not sure yet if he'll start, but I'm happy to have him back."

Fermin resumed team training on Thursday and is already back available for Saturday's clash against Betis, one week before his initial timeline to return. This is great news for Barca since he has been a regular starter prior to his calf injury and has performed well, contributing five goals and four assists in his last seven appearances.
