Barcelona’s players dominate Luis de la Fuente’s side in the Spanish national team squad called up for the FIFA World Cup, but the contingent is still missing one big name.
While Joan Garcia, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Pau Cubarsi, and even Gavi and Eric Garcia received call-ups, the big name who was left out of the event was Fermin Lopez.
The midfielder’s exclusion from the competition, however, had nothing to do with the manager’s decision but an unfortunate metatarsal fracture in Barcelona’s final La Liga game. Had he been fit, he would have certainly been in the United States for the event.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo in a recent update, Fermin is not just any regular player who is not at the premier event but one of the biggest names missing out.
