"Barcelona return to La Liga action on Saturday against Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium but look set to be without Dani Olmo again for the Catalan derby. Olmo has been sidelined since suffering a dislocated shoulder in the win over Atletico Madrid at the start of December and is not expected to be ready to face Espanyol, according to Diario Sport."
"The report says that Olmo's conservative treatment has worked but the club don't want to rush him back and are instead thinking about the Spanish Super Cup instead. Olmo is expected to be passed fit in time for the competition which sees Barca face off against Athletic Club in the semi-finals in Saudi Arabia on January 7th."
Dani Olmo has been sidelined since suffering a dislocated shoulder in Barcelona's win over Atletico Madrid at the start of December. The shoulder injury means Olmo is not expected to be ready to face Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium on Saturday. Conservative treatment has progressed well, but the club is reluctant to rush his return and is prioritizing recovery for the upcoming Spanish Super Cup. Olmo is expected to be passed fit in time for the Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club in Saudi Arabia on January 7th. Barcelona will return to training this afternoon at the Estadi Johan Cruyff in an open session as players resume after the Christmas break.
