SPORT BELIEVES FERMÍN WILL TAKE RAPHINHA'S PLACE

Raphinha being in the starting eleven for the match against Osasuna seems highly unlikely, which opens up a great opportunity for Fermín López, who had lost prominence in the team before the break due to international matches. The Andalusian played in the U-21 match against the Czech Republic on the 21st and was subsequently released by Santi Denia, along with Gerard Martín and Pablo Torre, from the second game against Germany on Tuesday. Negotiations between Barça and the Spanish Federation allowed Fermín to train from this Monday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper under Flick's orders.

Although his natural position is in midfield, Flick has used the player from El Campillo in up to six matches as a left-wing forward, either to give rest to Raphinha or Lamine, moving the Brazilian to the right in those instances. For this reason, Fermín has a high chance of starting against Osasuna in that position, which represents a great opportunity to prove himself, gain minutes, and convince the German coach that he deserves more prominence in this final stretch of the season.
