Fermín López is back in the Spanish national team! 🇪🇸❤️🔥
After missing Spain’s triumphant 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign because of injury, the Barcelona midfielder has been recalled by Luis de la Fuente for Spain’s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.
This is a huge moment for the 23-year-old. 😮💨🔥
Fermín was expected to be part of Spain’s World Cup plans, but an injury cruelly ended those hopes before the tournament. Spain went on to lift the trophy, while the Barça midfielder had to watch from the sidelines. 🏆💔
Now, he finally has his chance to return to La Roja.
And the timing couldn’t be more interesting. 👀
Fermín has started the new season strongly with Barcelona, producing goals and attacking contributions that have once again highlighted why he is considered an important part of Barça’s midfield. Barcelona’s official profile describes him as a midfielder who combines technical quality, energy in pressing and a strong ability to arrive in scoring positions. 🔵🔴⚡
🔥 DE LA FUENTE HASN’T FORGOTTEN FERMÍN
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente included Fermín in his first squad after the country’s World Cup triumph.
The selection contains 22 members of the World Cup-winning squad, with Fermín coming into the group alongside other changes. FIFA reports that he effectively replaces his Barcelona teammate Gavi in the midfield selection for this international window.
That means Barça will once again have a strong presence in the Spanish squad, with Pedri, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Eric García and Fermín among the selected players. 🇪🇸🔵🔴
😤 FROM WORLD CUP HEARTBREAK TO SPAIN RETURN
For Fermín, this isn’t just another international call-up.
It’s personal.
Missing a World Cup through injury after being in contention for selection would have been devastating for any player. But instead of allowing that setback to derail him, Fermín returned to Barcelona and continued working.
Now he’s back where he wanted to be.
With Spain. 🇪🇸🔥
Reports following his recall say Fermín expressed his happiness at returning to the national team and acknowledged how difficult it was to miss the World Cup.
And now comes the opportunity to write a different chapter.
⚔️ SPAIN’S NEXT TESTS
Spain’s new international cycle begins with the UEFA Nations League, and there are some huge fixtures ahead.
🇬🇧 England vs Spain
🇪🇸 Spain vs Croatia
🇪🇸 Spain vs Czech Republic
🇭🇷 Croatia vs Spain
The first major test comes against England at Wembley on September 26.
Imagine Fermín walking onto the pitch wearing the Spanish shirt again after missing the biggest tournament of his career. 😮💨🔥
🔵🔴 BARÇA FANS WILL BE WATCHING
Barcelona supporters will be particularly excited to see Fermín back in the Spain setup.
The midfielder has been part of Barça’s first-team plans since breaking through from La Masia, and the club recently extended his contract until June 2031, underlining his importance to Barcelona’s long-term project.
Now he gets another opportunity to establish himself at international level.
