Preliminary data based on the notification from the Spanish authorities:

During take-off from RWY 01 of Fuerteventura’s Airport, the skin of one of the plates of the reverse thrust system of engine number 2 detached from the plane and several pieces of it fell to the runway, laying close to the threshold of RWY 19. The crew did not notice anything initially, so they continued the flight to Barcelona without any further incident.
