Barcelona and Spain star Dani Olmo has been forced to miss training today due to an injury, just ahead of Spain’s crucial match against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League.
Spain will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 0-0 draw with Serbia earlier this week, but Olmo’s absence has raised concerns among fans.
Injury Concerns After Serbia Clash
Olmo picked up the injury during Spain’s match against Serbia, where he was substituted in the final minutes after a heavy challenge.
Although he struggled to stay on his feet after the incident, the full extent of the injury remains unclear.
Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, provided an update ahead of the upcoming match, confirming that Olmo would sit out today’s training session at the Stade de Genève in Switzerland.
No Risk Taken with Olmo’s Fitness
While de la Fuente has downplayed any concerns over squad fatigue from a busy fixture schedule, he made it clear that he will not be taking any risks with Olmo’s fitness.
The Barcelona midfielder is expected to start on the bench for Spain’s clash with Switzerland, as the team looks to secure their first win in this season’s Nations League.
Barcelona Fans on Edge
As Barcelona prepares to return to La Liga action on September 15 against Girona, the club’s fans will be keeping a close eye on Olmo’s recovery.
With no clear indication on how long the player will be sidelined, Barcelona supporters will be hoping their star midfielder can shake off the knock in time for the upcoming league fixtures.
Spain faces Switzerland tomorrow night in Geneva, and while Olmo’s absence will be felt, La Roja will be eager to get back on track and put pressure on the top teams in their group.
