Dani Olmo has suffered a muscle injury in his left calf while on international duty with Spain and has returned to Barcelona for evaluation. Initial club tests indicate no connective tissue damage.
Expected Recovery Time
Olmo is expected to be sidelined for approximately two to three weeks, which could see him miss the next La Liga fixtures and the imminent Champions League tie.
Flick’s Midfield Options
Head coach Hansi Flick can turn to Gavi, Pedri and Fermín López to maintain creativity and control in central areas during Olmo’s recovery.
