Barcelona faces a challenging match against Mallorca after a surprising loss to La Palmas, with hopes pinned on Dani Olmo’s return to the starting lineup to improve their performance.
During the match, Barcelona was under pressure and fell behind in the second half. Coach Hansi Flick used his best players from the bench, including Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres, to try to change the game.
It was unexpected that Dani Olmo did not come off the bench, as he was part of the squad. His absence suggested that his injury might not be too serious.
According to a recent report, Olmo has a minor issue with his pubis. Although he could have played, the coach chose to be careful, especially after the team’s loss.
Hansi Flick is counting on Dani Olmo to help the team. Reports indicate that he will likely start in the upcoming match against Mallorca.
Other players expected to start include Lamine Yamal, who only played in the second half last game, Alejandro Balde, who was injured during a challenge, and Marc Casado, who missed the last match due to suspension.
Barcelona will have their strongest lineup ready for the match against Mallorca. They are eager to improve their situation in La Liga after losing eight of their last nine points. Olmo’s return is seen as crucial for the team’s success.
This season, the 26-year-old Olmo has played in seven league matches, scoring five goals. He has also created three significant chances and averages 1.6 successful dribbles per game.
