The youngster was suspended for the game against Rayo Vallecano after picking up a red card in the match with Sevilla. Fermin instantly got his name on the score sheet after coming on against Sevilla and has surely got the confidence of Hansi Flick after receiving few minutes in the beginning of the season.
Fermin’s possible impact on the game
Fermin Lopez can have a major impact on the game tonight. The youngster starts ahead of Dani Olmo as an attacking midfielder. Fermin can create a lot of chances in the final third with his vision for the front 3. He can also run into the box to receive passes from over the Las Palmas defensive line to score goals. It’s a similar feat to what he achieved from a pass from Pedri.

Fermin Lopez cemented his position as an important player in Hansi Flick’s squad with consistent performances this season and truly deserves his start today.
