Dani Olmo Injured, Out of Barcelona's Champions League Clash
FC Barcelona's midfielder Dani Olmo will miss Tuesday’s Champions League match against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz. According to the club’s official statement, Olmo is dealing with a muscle overload in his right calf. However, no specific timeline for his recovery has been provided.
Injury Details
The Spanish international started on the bench during Barcelona's recent 1-1 draw against Getafe in LaLiga EA Sports. He came on in the 62nd minute, replacing Pablo Páez Gavira 'Gavi', and finished the game without showing any visible issues.
Prepping for the Lisbon Showdown
After the league draw, Hansi Flick's squad returned to training on Sunday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The team is scheduled to fly to Lisbon on Monday, where they’ll hold their final training session at the Estádio da Luz. Flick, along with a player, will also face the media in the traditional pre-match press conference.
Dani Olmo's absence poses a significant challenge for Barcelona, as they aim to secure crucial points in their group stage visit to Benfica.
