Good news for Barcelona! Dani Olmo is back in training and should play next week. This is important because Barcelona has many big games coming up in the Champions League, La Liga, and Copa del Rey.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Olmo hurt his leg in a game against Osasuna on March 27. He missed five games while he was getting better, but now he’s ready to play again. He trained with the team this week, and he might play in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on April 15. Olmo is important for Barcelona this season; he was one of their big signings and has scored 8 goals and made 5 assists in 28 games.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Barcelona is doing well. They haven’t lost a game this year and are at the top of the La Liga. They also beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals. Having Olmo back helps manager Hansi Flick as they prepare for big games against Celta Vigo, Mallorca, and Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on April 26. Some important players are still injured, like Alejandro Balde and Marc-André ter Stegen. Flick is being careful with Olmo’s return to make sure he doesn’t get hurt again.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Barcelona goes to Germany for the second game against Borussia Dortmund on April 15. They have a good lead, so Flick might change some players to keep them rested for tough times ahead. With Olmo back, the team has more creativity in the middle, and he might play as a substitute. Barcelona wants to win three trophies this season, and Olmo can be very important in these important times.
