Dani Olmo is set to return to Barcelona after being ruled out of Spain’s World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria due to injury.
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente confirmed earlier today that Olmo hasn’t
trained all week due to injury, and it’s now been confirmed he will not take part in the team’s upcoming games and will return to his club side instead.
“Dani Olmo will miss the match against Georgia in Elche and Bulgaria in Valladolid due to injury. The player arrived at the training camp last Monday with signs of muscle fatigue, as reported by FC Barcelona. Since then, his symptoms have gradually improved with treatment and training regimens. Therefore, today, the forward was scheduled to participate exclusively in a portion of his scheduled training session, where he reported muscle discomfort in his left leg,” read a statement.
“Therefore, he has undergone further testing and has been diagnosed with a muscle injury, which has been reported to FC Barcelona’s medical services. The player will begin his recovery at the national team’s training camp and will return to Barcelona tomorrow when the rest of the team travels to Elche to face the Georgian national team.”
There’s no indication yet of how much time Olmo will miss but it’s another setback for the 27-year-old who has struggled to make an impact at Barca in the early weeks of the campaign.
