Barcelona Receive Positive Dani Olmo Injury Update Ahead of Villarreal Clash

Barcelona are hopeful that Dani Olmo will be back in action when Hansi Flick’s side return from the international break with a home game against Villarreal.

Olmo picked up an adductor injury in the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain. Since then he has missed Barca’s matches against Real Madrid, Alaves, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid.

Mundo Deportivo reports that his recovery is going well. The current plan is for him to be ready to face the Yellow Submarine at Camp Nou on November 22.

It would be good news for Flick, whose injury list has started to shrink. Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia have all come back recently, which gives the German coach more choices in his squad.

For now, Flick will just want his international players to come back from the next two weeks of games without any new knocks.

There are big games ahead before the Christmas break. The champions play Atletico Madrid again in La Liga and take on Manchester City in the Champions League.
