Last Friday, Dani Olmo remained in the gym and did not participate in the session with the rest of the group, in addition, he has also not been present in today's Saturday training. The midfielder is one of the confirmed absentees for Sunday's match against Valencia at Montjuïc, joining the injured Iñigo Martínez, Marc-André Ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal. As for the Spanish international, his return is close, although it will not be as immediate as initially expected. Despite suffering a minor injury during the match against Getafe - a strain in the right calf muscle - with an initial prognosis of about ten days off, it seems that his recovery will take a few more days. According to Javi Miguel, the forecast is that he will return for next weekend's match against Alavés, so he will not be available for the Champions League match on Wednesday against Atalanta.

It is worth noting that Olmo has a long history of injuries, leading the medical staff to handle his case with extreme caution. Earlier this season, he was out of action for over a month due to a tear in the right thigh hamstring, missing eight matches. With this background, it is not surprising that his situation is being handled with special care in the dressing room. That is why Hansi Flick does not want to take any risks, especially now that players like Gavi and Fermín López are in great form and can cover his position reliably.
