Barcelona in turmoil as Olmo joins Flick’s injury list
Barcelona coach Hans Flick faces trouble after Dani Olmo’s leg injury will keep him out for weeks, leaving the team short-handed before big games against Girona, Olympiacos, and Real Madrid. Olmo had become a regular starter, playing major minutes in recent matches, making his absence even harder for Flick.
Options for replacements are thin, with Gavi and Lamine Yamal still out and both Rafinha and Fermín López racing to recover from their muscle injuries before the Girona clash. Flick may turn to Pedri in attacking midfield, with Ferran Torres or Roni Bardhi possible stand-ins, and could give a shot to younger players like Drew.
Olmo’s injury adds stress for Flick as he works to keep Barcelona stable and winning.
