Amid all the commotion caused by the 'mess' of his registration, Dani Olmo remains focused on recovering from his injury to the adductor of his right leg. The player was forced to leave the field at Montjuïc during the match against Osasuna on March 27 due to this setback and has been absent in the last three matches against Girona, Atlético de Madrid, and Betis.
However, the latest reports regarding his physical condition reveal that his recovery is going extremely well, and the feelings in the Catalan capital are excellent. Hansi Flick is confident that the player will rejoin training in the coming days and everything indicates that the '20' will be available for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund on April 15.
In fact, it is not ruled out that the midfielder could be included in the squad for the match against Leganés next Saturday, April 12, corresponding to matchday 31 of LaLiga. Nevertheless, as has been the rule throughout the season, the coaching staff will handle his situation with total caution and will under no circumstances rush his return, as the main objective is to avoid a relapse during this crucial stage of the season.
Iñigo Martínez, the big signing of Flick for the match against Dortmund
Who will be at the disposal of the Barça coach next Wednesday, April 9, in the first leg of the quarter-finals against Dortmund is Iñigo Martínez, who missed the match against Betis last Saturday due to a minor muscle injury in his left gluteus.
This physical issue is considered to be of minor relevance, and the center-back could have played against the verdiblancos, but Flick decided not to take any risks and preferred to manage his fitness to have him at 100% for the match against the German team, which will take place at Montjuïc.
Thus, it is expected that Iñigo will return to lead the Barça defense against Niko Kovac's team. The Barça coach needs him in a match where his leadership and command from the back are essential. Despite this, caution will dictate the club's roadmap, and if these minor discomforts do not subside, the player will remain sidelined, although at Can Barça they are optimistic.
