The loss of Dani Olmo with Spain against Switzerland was just a scare. Luckily for FC Barcelona, the player from Terrassa has overcome the discomfort resulting from a blow suffered against Serbia and, barring a surprise, will be in the game against Girona
FC Barcelona will be able to count on Dani Olmo in its lineup next Sunday in Montilivi. Despite not playing for Spain against Switzerland (1-4), the midfielder is physically well and will be able to play without problems against Girona in what will be the first highly dangerous visit for Barça in 2024/25. The man from Terrassa will return to training, perhaps, on Wednesday under the orders of Hansi Flick and aims to remain in the eleven in his third official match as a culé.
As 'TV3' announced this Monday, the latest tests carried out by the National Team's doctors ruled out a muscle injury and the pain derived from a blow suffered in the duel against Serbia (0-0) has decreased along with the inflammation in the right knee. Luis de la Fuente preferred to leave Dani on the bench against Switzerland as a precaution, understanding that his presence in Basel was an unnecessary risk. In the end, the coach's plan was correct, as La Roja ended up scoring without missing the culé midfielder.
Barça will go to Montilivi with its gala eleven intact
In that sense, Hansi Flick hopes to have his gala eleven on Sunday in Montilivi, awaiting the return of the rest of the internationals this week. The only doubt for the German coach could be the pivot, with Marc Casadó and Eric García as alternatives to accompany Pedri and Olmo. After his time at Girona last season, it would not be unusual to see Eric from the start, although the Heidelberg player's confidence in the kids is total.
For Barça, the duel against the Catalans comes just before the Champions League debut against Monaco, but luckily there will be enough time to prepare for both games, since the visit to the Principality will be on Thursday the 19th. In both games, Dani Olmo aims to ownership, as long as he is physically fit. The one from Terrassa has had a spectacular debut in LaLiga, with consecutive goals in his first two appearances.
