Fermín López Risks Missing World Cup

Barcelona's championship-winning midfielder, Fermín López, is at risk of missing the upcoming World Cup. In Sunday evening's match against Betis (3-1), the attacking midfielder was substituted at halftime after reportedly feeling discomfort in the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot, according to reports from "Sport" and "Mundo Deportivo."

The player underwent medical examinations this morning, and comprehensive information is pending. There is considerable concern within the club as they await the detailed diagnosis. It's worth noting that the World Cup kicks off in less than a month, and Fermín was considered a certainty for Luis de la Fuente's squad.
