Barcelona are hoping that Dani Olmo will be fit to return straight after the international break when Hansi Flick’s side resume action against Villarreal.
Olmo sustained an adductor injury playing against PSG in the Champions League and has missed Barcelona’s games against Real Madrid, Alaves, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Olmo is progressing well and the current expectation is that he will be available to face the Yellow Submarine at Camp Nou on November 22nd.
Olmo’s
return will be welcomed by Hansi Flick as his injury problems at the club start to ease. Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia have also returned recently to increase the German coach’s options.
Flick will now be hoping that all of his international players return unscathed from the upcoming round of fixtures over the next two weeks.
Barcelona have some important fixtures coming before the Christmas break, with the champions set to face Atletico Madrid again in La Liga as well as Manchester City in the Champions League.
