Fermin, key to the national team
Undoubtedly, the decrease in Fermin It is a setback for the Spanish coach who, with Luis de la FuenteThey had considered it more appropriate that the footballer of the FC Barcelona did not participate in this window with the senior team and to help the under-21s achieve their goal. However, this untimely muscle illness will prevent him from being part of the game. Therefore, and after being examined by the medical services of the Federation and Barça, it has been concluded that the best option is for him to return to the orders of Hansi Film and face your healing process at home.
The man from Huelva was, without a doubt, one of the names of this summer when he proclaimed himself European champion with the senior team led by Luis de la Fuente and Olympic combined champion Saint Denia where, in addition, he played a key role throughout the tournament being the top scorer of the Parisian event and scoring two goals in the final against France which, in the end, served to win the gold medal.
The young footballer is expected to have quality minutes this season under the orders of Hansi Film even if you saw how it happened Daniel Olmo in the Blaugrana locker room, a footballer who, in principle, occupies a position very similar to his. But the season is long and the German coach will find a way to distribute the opportunities throughout the next nine months of competition.
